If ever I to the moment shall say:Beautiful moment, do not pass away!Then you may forge your chains to bind me,Then I will put my life behind me,Then let them hear my death-knell toll,Then from your labours you'll be free,The clock may stop, the clock-hands fall,And time come to an end for me!
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
