There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.

If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter

For I have known them all already, know them all -- have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.

For I have known them all already, known them all—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
