In the millst of his endless achievements, modern man is losing the suhstance uf human life."'''' Loren Eisely once described "a feeling of inexplicable terror," as if he and his companion, who were examining a skull, were in thc path of "a torrent that was sweeping everything to destruction." Understanding Eiscly's sensation completely, his friend paraphrased him as saying, "to know time is to fear it, and to know civilized time is to be terror strieken."" Given the history of time and our present plight in it, it would bc hard to imagine a more prescient bit of communication. In the J 9605 Robert Lowell gave succinct expression to the extremity of the alienation of time: I am learning to live in history. What is history? What you cannot touch.lOO Fortunately, also in the '60s, many others were beginning the unlearn ing of how to live in history, as evidenced by the shedding uf wristwatch es, the use of psychedelic drugs, and paradoxically perhaps, by the popular single-word slogan of the French insurrection aries of May 1968-"Quick!" The clement of time refusal in the revolt of the '60s was strong and there arc signs-such as the revolt against work-that it continues to deepen even as it contends with extreme new spatializations of time. Since Marcuse wrote of "the alliance between time and the order of repression,"'01 and Norman O. Brown on the sense of time or history as a function of repression, Hn the vividness of the connection has puwerfully grown. Christopher Lasch, in the late '70s, noticed that " A profound shift in our sense of time has transformed work hahits, values, and the definition of success."'OJ And if work is heing refused as a key component of time, it is also becoming obvious how consumption gobbles up time alive. Today's perfect spatial symbol of the latter is the Pac-Man video game figure, which literally eats up space to kill time.'o, As with Aldous Huxley's Mr. Propter, millions have come to find time "a thing intrinsically nightmarish."'os A fixation with age and the pro longevity movement, as discussed by Lasch and others, are two signs of its torment. Adorno once said, "As the subjects live less, death grows more precipitous, more terrifying."'06 There seems to be a new genera tion among the young virtually every three or four years, as time, growing more palpable, has accelerated since the '60s. Science has provided a popular reflection of time resistance in at least two phenomena; the 1 · 1 1 · 1\ 11 Nt', t Il· 1{1'1 1 1""':\1 "> widespread ;l l 'l'i:al tIl ;11111 111111.." l"t1l1t.'c pIS 1IIt11l' til less hH,sd.y dn ivnl from pliv'\ical Ihcnry. slicil as hlill·k hoks, lime wal l )S, spa("l'lillu" sin g ularities and IlIl" like, ;IIHI jht: comfurling appeal of thl' "dccp lillie" of the \0 calkd geological romances, slich as John McPhee's IIm·ill IIlld Range (I 'IX t ) . \\· 11
