Abg
Such dim-conceived glories of the brain
Bring round the heart an indescribable feud;
So do these wonders a most dizzy pain,
That mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude
Wasting of old Time with a billowy main-
A sun—a shadow of a magnitude.
O Even the human mind cannot overcome time.
O Even art is affected by the ravages of time.
O Art remains unchanged over time.
O Time and age bring wisdom.
