• Those spacious regions where our fancies roam,
  Pain'd by the past, expecting ills to come,
  In some dread moment, by the fates assign'd,
  Shall pass away, nor leave a rack behind;
  And Time's revolving wheels shall lose at last
  The speed that spins the future and the past:
  And, sovereign of an undisputed throne,
  Awful eternity shall reign alone.

  Petrarch
