Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Genuine van Dyke. Written as a sundial inscription for Katrina Trask at Yaddo and printed in his 1904 collection; the verse is set as short lines, which the corpus has run together as prose. Van Dyke wrote a second, shorter sundial verse ('Hours fly, flowers die...') that is sometimes conflated with this one.
