Time’s Flying,” said Dad. He Smiled. He pointed to the air. “There it is, flying past! Catch it!” And he jumped, and caught Time in his hands, and showed it to Lizzie. She took it from him, and threw it up again.
“There it goes,” she called. “Bye-bye. Bye-bye, Time!

Contrasts

The windows of my poetry are wide open on the boulevards and in the shop windows

Shine

The precious stones of light

Listen to the violins of the limousines and the xylophones of the linotypes

The sketcher washes with the hand-towel of the sky

All is color spots

And the hats of the women passing by are comets in the conflagration of the evening


Unity

There's no more unity

All the clocks now read midnight after being set back ten minutes

There's no more time.

There's no more money.

In the Chamber

They are spoiling the marvelous elements of raw material

("Contrasts")

Blaise Cendrars

Keep time! How sour sweet music is when time is broke and no proportion kept! So is it in the music of men's lives. I wasted time and now doth time waste me.

William Shakespeare

The stove, she knew, wished it were a volcano, the humble teaspoons wished they were steamshovels, and the sink wished it were a well so all the others could have their wishes. Yet they all stayed exactly the same no matter what they wished, no matter what they saw and heard.

Georgess McHargue

Which of us is not saying to himself--which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: "I shall alter that when I have a little more time"? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.
