    2012, Bring It On.

    Sea

     

    'The years shall run like rabbits,

       For in my arms I hold

    The Flower of the Ages,

       And the first love of the world.'

     

    But all the clocks in the city

       Began to whirr and chime:

    'O let not Time deceive you,

       You cannot conquer Time.

     

    'In the burrows of the Nightmare

       Where Justice naked is,

    Time watches from the shadow

       And coughs when you would kiss.

     

    'In headaches and in worry

       Vaguely life leaks away,

    And Time will have his fancy

       To-morrow or to-day.

     

    'Into many a green valley

       Drifts the appalling snow;

    Time breaks the threaded dances

       And the diver's brilliant bow.

     

    W. H. Auden, from "As I Walked Out One Evening"

    Κατά τα λοιπά, αυτό. Όχι άλλη analysis-paralysis.
