'I have created the worlds,' proclaims Time.
'And we have created you,' the clocks chime.

What is TIME?
Recently I have been reflecting on the capacity for multiple meanings -- a feature that strongly links mathematics and poetry; with this similarity in mind, I present a thought-provoking couplet, an epigram from one of my favorite poets, Rabindranath Tagore:
'I have created the worlds,' proclaims Time.
'And we have created you,' the clocks chime.
'I have created the worlds,' proclaims Time.
'And we have created you,' the clocks chime.
