    “Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
    And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;

    And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
    Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
    And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
    To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Mocks me and mocks the desert of my bed.”
