“Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine.”

“At exactly the time when the fatal knowledge of how to destroy the entire human race has fallen forever into out hands, the knowledge of morality has fallen out.”

“Good morning, sunshine, time to go.”

“For the time being
Words scatter
Are they fallen leaves?”

“Afternoon’s the most dreamless and introspective time of day, a sort of midnight of the daytime …”

“Sunshine cannot bleach the snow,
Nor time unmake what poets know.”

“How fast has brother followed brother,
From sunshine to the sunless land!”

“In every age of the world there has been an established system, which has been opposed from time to time by isolated and dissentient reformers. The established system has sometimes fallen, slowly and gradually: it has either been upset by the rising influence of some one man, or it has been sapped by gradual change of opinion in the many.”

“Only a moment; a moment of strength, of romance, of glamour — of youth!… A flick of sunshine upon a strange shore, the time to remember, the time for a sigh, and — goodbye!”

“August 2, 1914: Germany has declared war on Russia. Went swimming in the afternoon.”
