“Give me time forever here in my time”
O' Caritas (co-written with Andreas Toumazis and Jeremy Taylor)
Song lyrics, Catch Bull at Four (1972)
The Old Clock on the Stairs, st. 9 (1845).
Context: Never here, forever there,
Where all parting, pain, and care,
And death, and time shall disappear,—
Forever there, but never here!
The horologe of Eternity
Sayeth this incessantly,—
"Forever — never!
Never — forever!"

On death and the nightly resurrection of the slain on Valhal, Ch. 2
Space Chantey (1968)
Context: Death is for a long time. Those of shallow thought say that it is forever. There is, at least, a long night of it. There is the forgetfulness and the loss of identity. The spirit, even as the body, is unstrung and burst and scattered. One goes down to death, and it leaves a mark on one forever.
“Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears, you are someone else I am still right here.”

“Things that have form will all disappear. But certain feelings stay with us forever.”

“Death is forever. Death is nothing. But to save a life, that’s everything.”
