Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.

Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
Thou knowest how to wait.

Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.

We have no time to lose,

and having no time we must scramble for a chance.
We are too poor to be late.

And thus it is that time goes by
while I give it to every querulous man who claims it,
and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.

At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate be shut;
but I find that yet there is time.

- Rabindranath Tagore,

"I shall be pleased
If anybody keeps waiting
Anxiously for me.
But now I shall offer myself to him
Who can brighten the darkness with light
And see me as I am
Transcending what is good or bad."

— Rabindranath Tagore, "Shesher Kabita" ("The Last Poem" or "The Poem About the End")

It beatifully reminds me one of my favourite quotes:

"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern." — William Blake, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"

My favorite quote came when someone insults the MC:
"Your chest contains the amount of humility you have"
The MC is as flat as a board.
