'We die with the dying:
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.'

'Between midnight and dawn, when the past is all deception,
The future futureless, before the morning watch
When time stops and time is never ending;
And the ground swell, that is and was from the beginning,
Clangs
The bell.'
