Quote

there's time for laughing and there's time for crying— for hoping for despair for peace for longing —a time for growing and a time for dying: a night for silence and a day for singing but more than all(as all your more than eyes tell me)there is a time for timelessness

That won't throw it's heart into the tension, surprise, fear and delight of the circus, the round world, the full existence.
