• Time, the foe of man's dominion, Wheels around in ceaseless flight, Scattering from his hoary pinion Shades of everlasting night.

    Thomas Love Peacock: Time, the foe of man's dominion,
Wheels around in ceaseless flight,
Scattering from his hoary pinion
Shades of everlasting night.
    Thomas Love Peacock (1812). “The Genius of the Thames, Palmyra, and Other Poems”, p.97
