Based on an excerpt from the "Four Quartets" by T.S.Eliot is polystilistic in idiom and in concertante style.
"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present."
(T.S.Eliot, "Four Quartets")
