Paraphrase

Hi. Would you paraphrase the following quotation. I find it difficult to understand.

A feeling bears on itself the scars of its birth; it recollects as a

subjective

emotion its struggle for existence;

it retains the impress of what might have been, but is not.

"Alfred North Whitehead"

Thanks
