LOOK FORWARD NOW IS YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW WITH WARNING HAND I MARK TIME'S RAPID FLIGHT
FROM LIFE'S GLAD MORNING TO IT'S SOLEMN NIGHT YET THROUGH THE DEAR GOD'S LOVE I ALSO SHOW THERE'S A LIGHT ABOVE ME BY THE SHADE BELOW USE WELL THE PRESENT MOMENTS AS THEY FLEET
YOUR LIFE HOWEVER WATCH FASTER WATCH SLOWER BEING YOUR SLAVE, WHAT SHALL I DO BUT TEND
UPON THE HOURS AND TIMES OF YOUR DESIRE?
Shakespeare VOLANO L'ORE I GIORNI GL'ANNI E I MESI
Hours, days, months, years, all fly
(Petrarch)
GATHER YE ROSE-BUDS WHILE YE MAY OLD TIME IS
STILL A-FLYING AND THIS SAME FLOWER THAT SMILES TO-DAY TO-MORROW WILL BE DYING
WATCH FOR YE KNOW NOT THE HOUR THIS PLAINLY SHOWS TO FOOLISH MAN
THAT HIS WHOLE LIFE IS BUT A SPAN WORK TODAY AND PLAY TOMORROW SET ME RIGHT AND USE ME WELL AND I THE TIME TO YOU WILL TELL AS WE USE THE HOURS SO WILL THE HOURS USE US
THE MOVING FINGER WRITES AND HAVING WRIT
MOVES ON NOR ALL THY PIETY NOR WIT SHALL LURE
IT BACK TO CANCEL HALF A LINE NOR ALL THY TEARS
WASH OUT A WORD OF IT
(Omar Khayyam)

THE SHADOW OF A BIRD IN HIS FLIGHT
(From the Talmud)

HEU QUAERIMUS UMBRAM
We pursue a shadow
TO SEE A WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND,
AND A HEAVEN IN A WILD FLOWER,
HOLD INFINITY OF THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
AND ETERNITY IN AN HOUR
I do not pretend to understand the universe - it is a great deal bigger than I am
SWIFT FLY THE HOURS AND BRIEF THE TIME
Life can only be understood backwards
It must be lived forwards.
Love is immortal death is only a horizon
A horizon is the limit of our eyes.
For every hour which passes Remembrance
For every hour that strikes Happiness
For every hour that comes Hope
To cultivate a garden is to Walk with God.
All the flowers of all the tomorrows
Are in the seeds of today.
