„We go and go
– for how long now?
It’s difficult to say.
Nothing changes with our steps;
it’s the same there and here;
before as now and after;
in the immeasurable monotony
of space, time drowns.
Motion from one point to another
isn’t motion at all anymore
if sameness rules,
and where motion is not motion,
time doesn’t exist.”
Thomas Mann
