"Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable...."
A sensitive plant in a garden grew, And the young winds fed it with silver dew, And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light, and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant," 1820
