But remember, time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

Last silly cliche Post

    I wasted time, and now doth time waste me;
    For now hath time made me his numbering clock:
    My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar
    Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch,
    Whereto my finger, like a dial's point,
    Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears.
    Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is
    Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart,
    Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans
    Show minutes, times, and hours"

            * King Richard in Richard II by William Shakespeare

another anachronism by the master, such clocks were not yet in use at the time
