“To Time. (1615)
Thou Register of old Antiquities,
Observer of the worlds iniquities,
Surveying life from birth till Death intoombe,
From Adam's making, to the day of doom:
That in thy restless cunning dost admit
Of actions lawful, or of things unfit,
And hast thy head behind of purpose ball'd,
Because thou never wilt be back recall'd;
But wear'st a lock before I understand,
On which I never yet could lay my hand.
I have expected (thou grave ancient father)
Thy helping hand, and I protest the rather,
Because they say that Time by turns doth go,
And hitherto I have not found it so:
Therefore for some good turn, one of these days,
I challenge thee, or I'll disprove thy praise,
And I write of thee according as I find,
That thorow age thou art both ball'd and blind;
Find out a time, good Time, for to relieve me,
For at this time, Time very bad doth grieve mee.”
Source: The Melancholie Knight
“To Time it never seems that he is brave
To set himself against the peaks of snow
To lay them level with the running wave,
Nor is he overjoyed when they lie low,
But only grave, contemplative and grave.”

“To touch on people's lives [ in a way they ] haven't been touched on before, it´s fascianting. You know, it's one thing if [ a celebrity ] has an incredible character and you're really going to be able to delve into their personality – that's great.
