Grey Time moves silently, and creeping on
Steals the voices of articulate humans,
Obscure himself, he hides illustrious men
And brings to light men who have been obscure.
O unforeseeable finish of men's lives,
Who daily always advance towards the dark.
– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Peter Jay
