TIME.

I saw a mighty river, wild and vast. Whose rapid waves were moments which did glide , - So swiftly onward In their SA lent tide That ere their flight was heeded they were past; A river that to death’s dark shore doth fast Conduct all living with resistless force And, though unfelt, pursues its noiseless course. To quench all fires In Lethe’s < stream at last Its current with creation’s birth was born And with the heavens commenced its march sublime, In days and months, still harrying on untired. Marking its flight, I inwardly did ' mourn And of my musing thoughts in doubt, Inquired The river’s name. My thoughts responded, Time. —Vincenzo Da Filicaia.
