A chapter in Mathematics Tomorrow, 1981, pp 29-37 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There are moments so rare as to bring with them a different kind of time. An event occurs so charged with emotion and intensity that one’s biological clock stops, the background fades away, and the thing itself is seen frozen and close-up as through a zoom lens. You can hear the turn of the key as the scene locks itself deep inside your brain.
