Incommunicable small terrors of infants
Margaret Drabble Lord knows what incommunicable small terrors infants go through, unknown to all. We disregard them, we say they forget because they have not the words to make us remember. . . By the time they learn to speak they have forgotten the details of their complaints, and so we never know. They forget so quickly we say, because we cannot contemplate the fact that they never forget.

 - Margaret Drabble
