Eons count not in the eternity of time and a millennium is but a moment. The period of man's life in eternity is like a flash of thy lightning that expires the moment it is born. The longest span of human life is a breathing space in time everlasting. Time is hungerless and thirstless, ageless and deathless. Everything upon earth lives in time and time alone is above and beyond everything.
Time is invincible.
It wears out everything and conquers all. As the wind and water wear out the strongest edifices, so does time eat the mightiest monuments raised by man. Nothing can stop it in its remorseless course. Time moves with hurrying steps. It flies on the swiftest wings and flies faster than the wind.
