The poem is a complicated weave of many ideas revolving around one theme: 'Numbers march not to return'., , , ''Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws, And make the earth devour her own sweet brood; Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood; Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st, And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time, ''.........................(Shakespeare) It's both thoughtful and thought-provoking at the same time. Well-done!
