I have to quote my favorite part of it , " The clock is also a mill, a time-grinding machine. It early made visible that the workday consists of twenty-four hours. The distinction between work and leisure remains secondary to this. The working style gives both their rhythm, determined by a peculiar sense of time. This awareness perceives the recognized units, from the largest to the smallest, as being in restless movement: from cosmic systems to atoms. This is also true psychologically; trees and flowers are perceived through glances that see them as workshops of incessantly circulating juices, where light and earth forces are transformed. The great and small clocks run day and night, in action as well as in dreams, and in work as well as in play. "
God, Junger is so amazing - he floors me, his mind and his fluency in writing...thank you
