TIMEPIECES 239 ognizable to him and pursues an idea to which the child must remain a stranger" (Supervielle, 11). On Potsdamer Platz in the heart of Berlin, where the traffic is denser than anywhere else in Europe [see Automobiles], a policeman stands on the platform of a tower with traffic lights above him and a clock below (Boberg, Fichter, and Gillen, 142; Schuette, 21). The most popular meeting place in Germany's capital is the so-called Normaluhr ("standard clock") at the Zoo railway station, a round clock with two concentric dials, the first numbered from one to twelve and the second from thirteen to twenty-four (Boberg, Fichter, and Gillen, 192). Its name serves as the title for one of the reflections in Walter Benjamin's Einbahnstra{?e (One-Way Street). Benjamin undermines the feeling of security that comes from constructing, keeping, and publicly displaying time in visible form. Truly great insights and inventions, according to him, will never be associated with measuring time: "Only the weaker and more distracted people derive incomparable joy from completing something and feel that life has thus been restored to them. For the genius, each caesura, each stroke of fate, adapts itself peacefully to the labor performed in his workshop" (Benjamin, 1972, 88).
