Speed
is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. This all changes when man delegates the faculty of
speed
to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a
speed
that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure

Speed

Speed
. Nay, I was rhyming: 'tis you that have the reason.

eventually neared its peak. The records forced me to work ever harder to drop a less and less time. These time trials came to feel like races, which are fun to run sporadically but not daily.
