I wish to examine the essence of Time, not its lapse, for I do not believe that
its essence can be reduced to its lapse. I wish to caress Time.

One can be a lover of Space and its possibilities: take, for example, speed,
the smoothness and sword-swish of speed; the aquiline glory of ruling velocity;
the joy cry of the curve; and one can be an amateur of Time, an epicure of
duration. I delight sensually in Time, in its stuff and spread, in the fall of
its folds, in the very impalpability of its grayish gauze, in the coolness of
its continuum.
