refreshed for the fray, refresh sb's memory

“Generation Kill,” an HBO seven-part mini-series about the invasion of Iraq that begins on Sunday, is bold, uncompromising and oddly diffident
"There is hardly any desiring to refresh such a memory as _that_,"--said
Mr. Knightley, feelingly; and for a moment or two he had done.

Everyone’s talking about the #Superbowl today, so here’s a superb owl from the collection! 🦉🏈
This sleepy owl was made in the 19th century by Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The inscription is a haiku written in cursive script, which roughly translates as:
‘The old maple
looks rosy and refreshed
from end to end.’
Hiroshige designed at least two prints with an owl taking a nap, so it seems to have been a popular theme http://ow.ly/A2vt30nvCNl
