As Time Goes By


"Whether we wake or we sleep,
Whether we carol or weep,
The Sun with his Planets in chime,
Marketh the going of Time."

"Why won't they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, can't they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping - rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year's and Easter and Christmas - But, goodness, why need they do it? "
John Dos Passos, 1917

    As I read your post, I could hear my father talking against time going too fast. I think the end of the year makes us think about the way we measure our lives. I love all the photos.
