waves

It was as if they had already lived all this. Their words seemed frozen in the traces of other words from other times. They paid no heed to what they did but to the difference which set today's acts in the present and parallel acts in the past. They felt tall, motionless, above them past and present -- identical waves in the same ocean.

-- Alain Delon narrating in Jean-Luc Godard's Nouvelle Vague
