Both lyrical and philosophical, evidently describing the positive capacity of the true husband, this passage slapped me in the face this morning as I was waiting for my name to be called in the doctor's office. It is exactly this aesthetic approach to time I attempt -- with jagged success -- to apply myself:
He solves the great riddle of living in eternity and yet hearing the hall clock strike, and hearing it in such a way that the stroke of the hour does not shorten but prolongs his eternity.
