This 'ennui' at last overcame me and I was dead this afternoon to the happenings around and inside. but it is when it leaves, rather releases, that one feels the full impact of the flood of thoughts, that have been waiting, having been warded off, to pour inside you, to leave you gasping for breath. it is when one is afflicted with nostalgia. Does it not make you live in the past, to revel over your achievements and brood over your failures.
Don't you wallow in self pity and disappointments. We talk of sweet memories, the faces of loved ones, a whisper that is now old and hence lost.
All that is past is lost. The more we live in the past, the more are we lost to the present and this present lost will become a past we never knew.

I don't think all that is past is lost. It is just past. They are our memories, good, bad, sad, happy! They are experiences from which we learn.They just remain.
We continue to live in the present, even if we don't want to acknowledge it. There is no getting away from today.
Cheers!
I agree, all that is past is not lost
they stay as memories. what we are today is on account of what we were. but there is the danger of us losing track of what is if we continue to dwell on what we were. In order to get away from the present reality we may seek refuge in the past. when it happens without our conscious effort and is triggered by certain situations in our present, we are hit by 'Nostalgia'
