Madeleine L'EngleBut there is something about Time. The sun rises and sets. The stars swing slowly across the sky and fade. Clouds fill with rain and snow, empty themselves, and fill again.

Around goes the circle of night and day, the circle of weeks forever revolving, and of months, and of years.
