Summary Our hero Franz Biberkopf tries to live from selling shoelaces going from door to door. Here he accidentally runs into his old lover Eva, which makes him so overwhelmed that he runs to the nearest flower shop and says something along the lines of: "I want to buy flowers that should express that the past just keeps following you; and days go by driving you on and on to a place where there is no future." [Or as paraphrased by Laurie Anderson: "Days go by Endlessly. And they just keep going by endlessly; Endlessly pulling you Into the future."] And the florist answers: "White Lillies" - the flower of death. And instead, Frantz buys red roses - and walks to another woman he has met along the route.
