But the story of the grass, the sun,
the leaps and the shouts...

:04:09
is still going on, too.
:04:17
Do you know how one day
the road was built here...

:04:22
which the next day
saw the Napoleon retreat...

:04:26
and was paved later on?
:04:30
Today it is covered with grass
and sunk in like a Roman road...

:04:36
with the tank tracks.
:04:40
But we weren"t even spectators.
We"ve always been too few.

:04:50
You really want...
-To conquer a history for myself.

:04:57
What my timeless downward look
has taught me...

:05:00
l want to transmute,
to sustain a glance...

:05:04
a short shout, a sour smell.
:05:09
l"ve been outside long enough.
Absent long enough.

:05:14
Long enough out of the world.
Let me enter the history of the world.

:05:18
Or just hold an apple in my hand.
:05:21
Look, those feathers,
there on the water, already vanished.

:05:27
Look, the tyre marks on the asphalt,
and now the cigarette butt rolling.

:05:34
The primeval river has dried up,
and only today"s raindrops still quiver.

:05:40
Down with the world behind the world.
