For everything there is a season,
• And a time for every matter under heaven:
• A time to be born, and a time to die;
• A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
• A time to kill, and a time to heal;
• A time to break down, and a time to build up;
• A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
• A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
• A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
• A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
• A time to seek, and a time to lose;
• A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
• A time to tear, and a time to sew;
• A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
• A time to love, and a time to hate,
• A time for war, and a time for peace.
• Matthew Arnold:
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done...
