TEMPORALITY
Rhetoric of temporality, rhetoric of materiality covers just about everything because in the nature of things, the language that we use is precisely the language that uses us, it is precisely that which conditions our experience not only of time but of space, etcetera.
IN ONE's TIME
Plato in his time was complaining about the realism of the architects and painters in his time and criticized them for not sufficiently following the Egyptian example of abstraction.
ON TIMING
Every work of art and architecture has the question of is it on time - which relates to its impact.
Parallel time
Burckhardt was teaching in Basel at the same time that young Nietzsche was teaching Greek philology.
Digest in time
It takes time to digest, as it took Burckhardt ten years in which he did not do abstraction, he does more of a kind of late classicism in style.
IN TIME
There was no reference to anything that the senses could verify or could measure. It is true that originally very few people understood Einstein’s paper and that he was understood and appreciated only about 15 years later when Arthur Eddington, a British astronomer went to someplace in Africa… in east Africa, from where one could observe at the time the eclipse of the sun and one could then take photos of nearby objects. The beams of light that were close enough to the sun effectuated by the power of the sun’s weight, would tilt the beams of light… and that was the time of the empirical proof of relativity theory that changed the equation, the public reception, in the sense that this Einstein you know, with the tongue out - happened only after there was empirical proof and not before!
Unredeemable time
T. S. Eliot begins Burnt Norton:
"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable."
