Narrated experiences always acquire some of the quality of the past-continuous, as is natural since the words that evoke them can always be repeated. Lived experience on the other hand has a harsh one-off quality in which there is never quite enough to relive them as they are being lived. This is a form of 'unsatisfactoriness' made all the more salient as it is sometimes suspended, typically during sunsets and early evenings - a kind of existential lure, or poetry. Tere are times when eternity grazes time so gently that one almost fails to notice it.
