Poetry is not efficient. If you want to learn how to cook a lobster, it’s probably best not to look to poetry.

Time is the most subtle yet the most insatiable of depredators, and by appearing to take nothing is permitted to take all; nor can it be satisfied until it has stolen the world from us, and us from the world.
