Even then, I always thought that eventually the movements of the '70s would have been defeated, but not in that way. I thought it would remain in memory as a noble example, as a bold attempt but generous, wrapped in an aura of romance and so on.
When then, however, have proved inconsistent, vile, false. In the general rush any aura is gone.
(but what do you think young people would say of the 70 peripheral of all these brooding, this love that never dies, no use of this fidelity, this commitment staid? Do you think what did anything matter? It would make a good laugh, here's what - just that)
