Can one narrate time—time as such, in and of itself? Most certainly not, what a foolish undertaking that would be. The story would go: “Time passed, ran on, flowed in a mighty stream,� and on and on in the same vein. No one with any common sense could call that a narrative.
—Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain
