"The painting, of great evocative power, is one of Dali's masterpieces. In an allusive and symbolic way, the painter indicates the active, conscious memory through the pocket watch and the ants that move about on it, and the unconscious memory through the limpness of the watches, which show no exact time. THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY thus describes the amnesic oscillation between the highs and lows of wakefulness and sleep."
