Pick the Day
The expensive watch on the wrist of the man in the
large poster by the road was intended to be a symbol of eternal success, the
victory of youth over time, the staying of the best moment. But in fact it was
a sign of transience as old as time. The old masters used to stop the passing
world in a still image. They showed all the more painfully that it had already passed.
Like the man in the poster.
