Time itself flows on with constant motion, just like a
        river: for no more than a river can the fleeting hour stand 
        still.  As wave is driven on by wave, and, itself pursued,    
        pursues the one before, so the moments of time at once flee and 
        follow, and are ever new.  /OVID  /Metamorphoses

            I saw Eternity the other night,
           Like a great ring of pure and endless light, 
           All calm, as it was bright; 
           And round beneath it, 
           Time in hours, days, years, 
           Driv'n by the spheres 
           Like a vast shadow mov'd; in which the world 
           And all her train were hurl'd.

            He saw the crowd and thought of the waves moving through
        them, breaking into white, swallowing foam.  The small figures 
        dimly sensed the eddies of the waves as paradox, as riddle, and 
        heard the tick of time without knowing what they sensed, and 
        clung to their linear illusions of past and future, of 
        progression, of their opening births and yawning deaths to 
        come...  And he thought of Markham and his mother and all these 
        uncountable people, never loosening their grip on their hopes, 
        and their strange human sense, their last illusion, that no 
        matter how the days moved through them, there always remained 
        the pulse of things coming, the sense that even now there was 
        yet still time.  /GREGORY BENFORD  /Timescape

            "Doctor, we did good, didn't we?"
            "Perhaps.  Time will tell.  Always does."

            Methusalem might be half an hour in telling what o'clock it
        was: but as for us postdiluvians, we ought to do everything in 
        haste; and in our speeches, as well as actions, remember that 
        our time is short.  /SIR RICHARD STEELE

            Time is like a river, flowing endlessly through the
        universe.  And if you poled your flatboat in that river, you 
        might fight your way against the current and travel upstream 
        into the past.  Or go with the flow and rush into the future.  
        This was in a less cynical time before toxic waste dumping and 
        pollution filled the waterway of Chronus with the detritus of 
        empty hours, wasted minutes, years of repetition and time that 
        has been killed.  /HARLAN ELLISON

             Here lies, extinguished in his prime,
            a victim of modernity:
            but yesterday he hadn't time--
            and now he has eternity.  /PIET HEIN

             What is this life if, full of care,
