Reflections on Memory and Time Through Poetry

The author reflects on the concept of memory and aging in the book 'Provinces.' He discusses the melancholy memory of a woman from his past and how it intertwines with his thoughts on time and youth. The author's musings on memory are depicted as the gathering of apricots, fluidly moving within the flow of time. This reflection is akin to the double vision of a poet, who creates a map that is both distant and concrete.
