“The child has a different relation to his environment from ours. Adults admire their
environment, they can remember it and think about it, but the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered; they form part of his soul. This is a vital kind of memory, which one does not consciously remember, but absorbs images into the individual’s very life.”
