Memory
The Talmadge Memorial Bridge in Savannah, Georgia is named after Eugene Talmadge, and connects downtown Savannah, Georgia with the Carolina Low Country via the Savannah River.
(The "Cocking affair" later became the subject of Michael Braz's opera, A Scholar Under Siege, composed for the centenary of Georgia Southern University and premiered in 2007.)

Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“‘I’m sorry that I spelt the word:
I hate to go above you,
Because’Mthe brown eyes lower fell—

That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.”

But those of memory.
Yet how much room for memory there is
In the loose girdle of soft rain.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“One learns little more about a man from the feats of his literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
