:15:03
That has a name and a face.
:15:07
I'm writing you all this from another world,
a world of appearances.
:15:10
In a way the two worlds communicate with each other.
:15:14
Memory is to one what history is to the other:
an impossibility.
:15:19
Legends are born out of the need to decipher the indecipherable.
:15:23
Memories must make do with their delirium,
with their drift.
:15:29
A moment stopped would burn like a frame of film
blocked before the furnace of the projector.
:15:34
Madness protects, as fever does.
:15:38
I envy Hayao in his 'zone,'
he plays with the signs of his memory.
:15:43
He pins them down and decorates them like insects
that would have flown beyond time,
:15:47
and which he could contemplate from a point outside of time:
the only eternity we have left.
:15:54
I look at his machines.
:15:56
I think of a world where each memory
could create its own legend.
