A memory or imaginative view/image over a long period of time or events.

Does that help?

Couldn't it be:

It could be, but that is not the word I used. Please allow me to choose my own vocabulary.

Hi Mr Micawber,

I didn't ask you to not using your own vocabulary. It is just that using of instead of over makes things easier for me to understand in that definition. Thanks for the help.

Best wishes, Jackson
