Summary

This quote, from T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," suggests that time is both fluid and fleeting. It highlights how in a single minute, we have the opportunity to make choices and modify them, but these choices can be easily undone by the passing of time. It speaks to the constant flux and uncertainty inherent in the human experience, reminding us to be mindful of the decisions we make and the limited time we have to act upon them.
