Give the ship a gentle push and make it rock, because it rocks on the river of time, leisurely, but always forwards and the people with it! The passengers are both shapers of history and its symbols. There is the warrior of the Middle Ages with his helmet as well as the good citizen, the skipper, the philistine or the peasant woman. Have you found them? The devil is not missing either. The burgher steers the ship. A fool is also on board. He wants to keep the opposite direction. The cow goes into one of the city gates, a car comes out of the other gate: contemporary history!
