Measuring Time by Different Clocks. By the Stars. By Luis de Gongora y Argote

If I want by the stars

To know, time, where you are,

I see that you go with them

But with them you don’t come back.

Where do you imprint your fingerprints

That I cannot find your trace?

Now I realize I am wrong

if I believe you fly, run and roll;

You are, time, the one who stays,

And I am the one who goes.
