*Niets is kostbaarder dan de tijd, Want hij is de prijs van de eeuwigheid.

*Netherlands proverb: Nothing is more precious than time, For it is the price of eternity.

Rapt in scarlet silence soft
The digit-demon lurks.
I hear no honest tick from his
Deep necromantic works.
Electron-imps cavort about
Each sizzling silicon-chip;
With quick quark-questing power, they hold
Old Time in grimfast grip
