T. S. EliotAll time is eternal, moving inexorably toward an end which we believe is a result of our actions, but over which our control is mere illusion.

T. S. EliotThe Pekes and the Pollicles, everyone knows, Are proud and implacable, passionate foes; It is always the same, wherever one goes. And the Pugs and the Poms, although most people say that they do not like fighting, will often display Every symptom of wanting to join in the fray. And they Bark bark bark bark bark bark Until you can hear them all over the park.
T. S. Eliot
