On Time

by Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift

Ever eating, never cloying,
All-devouring, all-destroying,
Never finding full repast,
Till I eat the world at last.

    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    Oh many a duel the world has seen That was bittter with hate, that was red with gore, But I sing of a duel by far more cruel Than ever by poet was sung before.
