What elegant observations, positioned to look as if the span of time between them was no time at all. One my favorite Werner Herzog documentaries is “Cave of Forgotten Dreams.” If you haven’t seen it, he films inside a cave in France where some of the oldest known paintings by humans exist. One one wall, there are three painted horses, slightly overlapping. They look very similar as if painted by the same hand, but forensic work into the age showed that they were painted 5,000 years apart. That just blew me away, that continuous line between enormous spans of time.
