The first time a tormenting conflict arose here, which I, great-grandson of an idealistic, grandson of a romantic and son of a materialistic gender, had so far considered insoluble.
It did not happen that either or became a so-called.
No, the real is as magical as the magical is real.
Ernst Jünger, born 1895.
No writer has ever associated the past with the present for so long.
Even at 100 he does not stop observing and searching for the great secret that
is behind everything, but also always for himself. A life without an example in
his straightforwardness and in his contradictions. You have the feeling in this room that
time and form, both very important things for you, Mr. Jünger.
Certainly, the sandals remind me of the time and its transience.
That's why I put them on over the church springs.
Is time becoming more valuable towards the end of life than it already is?
I don't necessarily want to say that, but of course, let's say, a day is more valuable than the time.
It's actually shorter. For a child, the day is almost endless, from waking up to going to sleep.
The day is almost endless, but towards the end of life, you have the impression that like a bullet that has reached the high point, it only reaches the end with increasing speed.
and he is striving to reach the end.
You are amazed, you think,
that was so and so long ago,
and in time, he was very mistaken.
A lancer gave it to me,
he found a stick in the forest,
a branch,
that seemed strange to him,
and he gave him a kind of animal head with two ears.
And I have a special relationship with Verdun,
like with some other cities.
The first time I came to Verdun was when I came to the Foreign Office
and signed the contract.
The second time I was wounded at Verdun.
Not in the great battle, but already in 1915, in the spring of 1915.
And the third time I took part in the big celebration,
where Chancellor Kohl and Mitterrand have become brothers.
There is a picture where I walk up a mountain in the middle of the forest in the middle of the day.
I feel very dependent on the view and on the present of things that have succeeded in form and color.
succeeded.
If you look at this plate up here,
it is a relic
from the times
when the walls were still sitting in Spain.
Preserved remains
that still have the essence of the sun's light.
That is also a triumph over time.
I am one of the contemporaries
who saw the Halle comet twice.
The first time with my father and the whole family.
We were standing in front of our house in Rehburg and he said,
of you all, maybe Wolfgang will see it again.
Wolfgang was our youngest, who died first.
I was the oldest, and I was partly responsible for that.
I had to go to Sumatra, where we could see him better.
