Notes

  • Epigraph:

    His eyes are staring his mouth is open. his wings are spread.

    This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is

    turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events.

    he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage

    upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet.'
