I have it! Jules Verne.
- Right up your alley, I would think. - Photonic, right?
Or what's left of one. What's left of all of them.
I am the last, and "these fragments I have shored against my ruins."
T.S. Eliot.
You wouldn't know him yet, but he is so depressing, yet so divine.
Oh, I'm sorry. The lending library is temporarily out of service.
Not to worry. I have them all right here...
every page of every volume.
Can you tell me what's happening here?
Well, my sources are no longer fully annotated,
and my information is somewhat anecdotal,
but I believe what was once one race... is now two.
One above and one below.
Two distinct species that have evolved.
And how do those below survive?
That is the real question, isn't it?
I don't believe it.
if you don't like the answers, you should avoid asking the questions.
Look at them.
They have no knowledge of the past, no ambition for the future.
- So lucky. - Why would you say something like that?
Can you even imagine what it's like to remember everything?
I remember a six-year-old girl who asked me about dinosaurs 800,000 years ago.
I remember the last book I recommended: Look Homeward, Angel, by Thomas Wolfe.
And yes, I even remember you.
Time travel: practical application.
