The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.

Original text (Italian)
Love hath so long possessed me for his own
And made his lordship so familiar.
She is the sum of nature's universe.
To her perfection all of beauty tends.
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
A generation which ignores history has no past —and no future.
Nothing is there to come, and nothing past,
But an eternal now does always last.
