50 years ago, there were...
-The Olympic Games.
:11:05
200 years ago,
the first balloon flew over the city.
:11:10
Like the fugitives the other day.
-And today...
:11:14
Lilienthaler Chaussee:
A man slows down...
:11:18
and looks over his shoulder
into space.
:11:23
Someone who wants
to put an end to it...
:11:26
put first-issue stamps
on his farewell letters.
:11:29
A different one on each.
:11:30
Then he spoke English
with an American soldier...
:11:35
for the first time since his schooldays,
fluently.
:11:40
Just before dashing his head against
the wall, a prisoner said: ''Now.''
:11:47
lnstead of the station's name,
the guard...
:11:50
suddenly shouted: ''Tierra del Fuego.''
-Nice.
:11:54
An old man was reading
the Odyssey to a child...
:11:57
and the young listener
stopped blinking his eyes.
:12:02
And what do you have to tell?
:12:07
A passer-by who, in the rain,
folded her umbrella and was drenched.
:12:15
A schoolboy who described
to his teacher a fern growing...
:12:21
and the astounded teacher.
:12:25
A blind woman, who groped her watch,
feeling my presence.
:12:32
lt's great to live by the spirit,
to testify for eternity...
:12:36
only what is spiritual
in people's minds.
:12:41
But sometimes l'm fed up
with my spiritual existence...
:12:45
of forever hovering above.
:12:47
l'd like to feel a weight in me...
:12:49
to end the infinity,
and to tie me to earth.
:12:53
l'd like at each step,
each gust of wind...
:12:57
to be able to say:
''Now, now and now.''
