HEAVEN and earth alike are chronometers.
Heaven marks time in light, by the motion of luminaries.
Earth marks time in darkness, by the variation of shadows.
To these chronometers of nature art adds clocks with faces easily decipherable and voices insistently audible.
Nature and art combine to keep time for us: and yet we wander out of time!
We misappropriate time, we lose time, we waste time, we kill time.
We do anything and everything with time, except redeem the time.
Yet time is short and swift and never returns. Time flies.
And I'm afraid we invent new ways of wasting time!
