Man is not the most majestic of the creatures; long before the mammals even, the dinosaurs were far more splendid.

Man alone leaves traces of what he created.

You should not have any remains after you do something. But this does not mean to forget all about it.
Nostalgia for people, cultures, everything. There's an ability to use these marks to note things that are erased, deleted. Traces are a species of history, of evidence.
