Our Bias

推薦 0 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台

The hour-glass whispers to the lion’s paw,

The clock-towers tell the gardens day and night,

How many errors Time has patience for,

How wrong they are in being always right.


Yet Time, however loud tis chimes or deep,

However fast its falling torrent flows,

Has never put the lion off his leap

Nor shaken the assurance of the rose.

For they it seems, care only for success;

While we choose words according to their sound

And judge a problem by its awkwardness;

And Time with us was always popular.

When have we not preferred some going round

To going straight to where we are?


Wystan Hush Auden (1907-1973)
