Saint Augustine of Hippo wrote in his Confessions, "What, then, is time? If no one asks me, I know; but if I wish to explain it to someone who asks, I know not."
A. A. Milne, in Winnie-the-Pooh, asked Christopher Robin, "Don't you remember [the other stories]?" and Christopher Robin answered, "I do remember, and then when I try to remember, I forget."
Both of those seem appropriate to the present discussion!
