No spring, nor summer beauty hath such grace,
As I have seen in one autumnal face.

Poems (1633)

If we consider eternity, into that time never entered; eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period; and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.
