Abstract
It suspends the flow of time, stops the incessant drive into the future, and yet keeps the clock running. It clips the wings of temporal ecstasy, but only temporarily, only by a certain deferral, a postponement. It can suspend time only by being itself a definite, carefully regulated interval of time, time at a standstill even while remaining time, almost a kind of space of time inserted into time, suspending time, almost as if it were a bit of eternity. Also, then, an intense time, a time of intense preparation, a time of decision.
