16.01.2008 - Interpretation von dali48

It is hard to accept being betrayed by a friend - deceived by the woman we love - or that the idea of freedom is the mask of a tyrant... - They've returned from the war, she said. This handful of words disturbed me, as if they foreshadowed the end of the world or the second coming of Christ. I vaguely knew that somewhere far away a war had ended a few years earlier and that the soldiers were marching to celebrate their victory. For me, that war had taken place in another time, not here and now... - Everything proved the outside world's existence - and my own unreality. I felt that the world was splitting (polarising) and I did not inhabit the present. My present was disintegrating: real time was somewhere else... - The search for the present is neither the pursuit of an earthly paradise - nor that of a timeless eternity... - Poetry is in love with the instant and seeks to relive it in the poem, thus separating it from sequential time and turning it into a fixed present... - Since 1850 she (modernity) has been our goddess and our demoness - In recent years, there has been an attempt to exercise her and there has been much talk of "postmodernism". But what is postmodernism if not an even more modern modernity? - Between tradition and modernity - there is a bridge. When they are mutually isolated, tradition stagnates - and modernity vaporizes... - The existence of nuclear weapons is a refutation of the idea that progress is inherent in history. This refutation, I add, can only be called devastating... - History is unpredictable because its agent, mankind, is the personification of indeterminism... - Men could then become possessed once more by ancient religious fury - or by fanatical nationalism... - The signs, unfortunately, are disturbing... - Pollution affects not only the air, the rivers and forests - but also our souls... - No other society has produced so much waste as ours has - material and moral waste... - Living well implies dying well - We have to learn how to look death in the face... (Octavio Paz, Nobel L. 1990)
