On the angel of history

Click for : Quicktime version / Flash version

"A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings so that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned. This storm is what we call progress."
