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.

I would advise no one to send his child where the Holy Scriptures are not supreme. Every institution that does not unceasingly pursue the study of Gods word becomes corrupt. Because of this we can see what kind of people they become in the universities and what they are like now. Nobody is to blame for this except the pope, the bishops, and the prelates, who are all charged with training young people. The universities only ought to turn out men who are experts in the Holy Scriptures, men who can become bishops and priests, and stand in the front line against heretics, the devil, and all the world. But where do you find that? I greatly fear that the universities, unless they teach the Holy Scriptures diligently and impress them on the young students, are wide gates to hell.
