    Product Description

    Whatever surrounds me – I experience it now in my whole being – is not space, it is time. Like a forest of events through which I beat my way, in order to come out into the glade of history. Historical time and more personal time. One moment next to the other all around me, narrowing like links in a chain next to the flesh. Time, which has become my hide and my skin. My last difficulty, to break the bonds. To come out of myself….
