Hitler meant to inject his vulgar sacred time into profane time, but the sacred can never intrude for more than an instant. Any longer, and the results are monstrous...
...breakfast table, sign-up posters on the bulletin board. House athletics: slightly amateurish, organized by House secretaries who with a few exceptions, aren't too organized Sports that constantly change, games that take place all the time, all hours of the day, every day of the week. Sweat clad athletes who journey across the river and back to play, forked constants amid the change...
