Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.

Your "derivative work" makes no sense, mafioso.

Как волны на скалистые уступы
Бегут, теснясь, так череда минут
Спешит к концу, где каждая уступит
Свои права другой, и все уйдут.

А. Шаракшанэ

Одна волна сменяется другою,
На берег беспрерывно громоздясь;
Минуты друг за другом чередою
Бегут вперед, к погибели стремясь.

И. Фрадкин
