On a cold day, not long before Christmas 1996, the narrator of W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz and the protagonist, Jacques Austerlitz, arrive in Greenwich, England. After climbing up through Greenwich Park, they reach the Royal Observatory. There, while viewing different measuring devices, regulators, and chronometers, Jacques Austerlitz bursts into one of the most decisive monologues of the book a poetic eruption, I would argue, crucial to the understanding of Sebald's prose as a whole
