Against the fate that made men love my mouth
And left their spirits all too deaf to hear
The little songs that echoed through my soul.

Yet since the Greeks and Trojans would not see
Aught but my body's fairness, till the end,
In all the islands set in all the seas,
And all the lands that lie beneath the sun,
Till light turn darkness, and till time shall sleep,
Men's lives shall waste with longing after me,
For I shall be the sum of their desire,
The whole of beauty, never seen again.

Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line,
To talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.

 

James Taylor

 

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose under heaven.

 

Pete Seeger
