Quote preview background for Kilroy J. Oldster
Time is inexplicable because it moves _ clicks away _ at steady increments, while increasing the past and bringing the future into the present. Time has a necessary affinity with both heaven and the earthly reality. __ythagoras, when he was asked what time was, answered that it is the soul of the world._ Plato said that time and heaven must be coexistent. Without time nothing can be created or generated in the universe, nor is anything intelligible without eternity. Time is no accident or affection, but the cause, power, and principle of the symmetry and order that confines all created beings, by which the animated nature of the universe moves.
