"In his article, "On the Nature of Words" he mentions Bergson's search for links between things of the same kind that are separated only by time - in the same way, he thought, one can look for friends and allies across the barriers of both time and space. This would probably have been understood by Keats, who wanted to meet all his friends, living and dead, in a tavern." (Hope Against Hope, Nadezhda Mandelstam)
