“I am not mortal. Were I doomed to die + 

This hour, in this half-hour I interpose + 

A thousand years of dream: and, those gone by, + 

As many more, and in the last of those, + 

Ten thousand⁠—ever journeying towards a close + 

That I shall never reach: for time shall flow, + 

Wheel within wheel, interminably slow. + 
