Quotation from The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. by Washington Irving
“I was myself last night, but I fell asleep on the mountain, and they’ve changed my gun, and everything’s changed, and I’m changed, and I can’t tell what’s my name, or who I am!”
The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., Rip Van Winkle (Project Gutenberg #2048 (revised edition))
Questioned at the election crowd, Rip sees his own son and cannot account for himself.
