Time
Time, what an empty vapor 'tis,
And days, how swift they are;
Swift as an Indian arrow-
Fly on like a shooting star.
The present moment just is here,
then slides away in haste,
that we can never say they're ours,
but only say they're past.
Time is everything. Please act in view of this.
---Letter to Union governors, July 3, 1862 ~ Abraham Lincoln
Oh, by the way~ the clock is our latest auction fine...
