"
O Let not Time decieve you
But all the clocks in the city
Began to whirr and chime:
O let not Time deceive you
You cannot conquer Time. .
In the burrows of the Nightmare
Where Justice naked is,
Time watches from the shadow
And coughs when you would kiss.
In headaches and in worry
Vaguely life leaks away,
And time will have his fancy
To-morrow or to-day.
— From I Walked Out One Evening by W H Auden
