TV – 3. Program: Diderot [1] Michael Krüger [2] Translated by xia23 She said that she would like to watch the film about Diderot on TV again. she would like to turn off the sound and just listen to the language of the images: She said, she can with strong concentration, Feel the images on the skin. One should, she said, As Diderot claimed, look at an object And connect a sound with it, the sound “Tree”. Then one should pronounce the word “tree”, Said she, Diderot claimed, then one should have a tree. That is what the man, who pretended To talk to Diderot on TV, said, said she, furthermore He claimed, we spent our lifetime in Very short days and very short nights. Every time, if we closed our eyes, it would be Night, He had said, she claimed. But how often this Happens, he exclaimed! And we were unaware of all of the short nights, Because we didn’t pay attention to them; as soon as we pay attention to them, we would be aware of them. She said after this TV film, She would always turn off the sound on TV, then only the eye guided her! If we are blind, she thought, and the dog Which leads us would be our eye. We could not simultaneously think, see, hear, taste, and feel, smell, Diderot Said, that is what the man said in the film about Diderot on TV, She said. We could always only focus about One thing. We would stop seeing, as soon as we hear, and Even though It was with another sensations. If she could no longer See, but if she could hear at the same time, then she probably would not Understand. Therefore she would like to watch the film about Diderot on TV one more time, To see, If she understood the film. She asked me, When Diderot lived. In 18th century, I said, today Everything Is completely different. I said to her, today you can see, on TV a man talking about Diderot, and At the same time, listen to the man talking about Diderot and explaining, and at the same time you could Close your eyes, without missing anything. Since it is on TV I explained to her, it is always only at night. [1]. p. 93. TV -3. Program: Diderot. Kontakt mit der Zeit. Dieter Stöpfgeshoff. Max Hueber Verlag. Germany, 1995. Diderot.
