I found in a neglected book a quote:
"Eternity is the Standing still of the Present".
That is attributed to ‘Leviathan',
By Thomas Hobbes,1651.
Eternity is now. We mislead ourselves
When we reckon what is beyond measure.
Our greatest faculty,
More precious than our reasoning,
Is imagination. We make icons and compare
Things beyond mimetics and metaphors,
Even email Smileys, emoticons and emojis.
Let us not numb this gift. We do not need
Ersatz sentiments to communicate
Between you and someone if both feel
Eternity is Now.
