Life seems to me to consist of three parts: the absorbing and usually enjoyable present which rushes on from minute to minute with fatal speed; the future, dim and uncertain, for which one can make any number of interesting plans, the wilder and more improbable the better, since — as nothing will turn out as you expect it to do — you might as well have the fun of planning anyway; and thirdly, the past, the memories and realities that are the bedrock of one's present life, brought back suddenly by a scent, the shape of a hill, an old song — some triviality that makes one suddenly say "I remember…" with a peculiar and quite unexplainable pleasure.

Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined — -sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured — -so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.
It's so messy bleeding like a pig.
