NRPart seven of cycle "The Requiem Films". “I imagine that almost everyone who has come across this piece is familiar with the phrase ‘in illo tempore’. In illo tempore—in that time. […] Let’s pause for a moment on ‘tempore’. Let’s consider, as laypeople might, what part of the original phrase this is.

What did that mean to me?
