[Hardy-l] Father Time

[Eric Christen]

> 
    I would tend to see him as more symbolic of Time (and fate), past AND
present AND future, than ³real², and I would tend to look at Classical
mythology ­ Kronos (or Chronos) a creative and destructive Titan, the word
meaning ³time².
    In JO : ³He was Age masquerading as Juvenility² (. . .) ³A ground swell
from ancient years of night seemed now and then to lift the child in this
his morning-life, when his face took a back view over some great Atlantic of
Time² 
(. . .)  ³like an enslaved and dwarfed Divinity².
    In ŒMidnight on the Great Western¹ : ³ you mark and mete / This region
of sin that you find you in, / But are not of.²  Note the verbs ³mark and
mete².
    In haste (alas).
