Robert Levine, A geography of time: the temporal misadventures of a social psychologist. For some reason I can't find it on amazon. But ask google about it, and you'll find reviews. Not exactly a poetic post, but... oh, here. I have something for you from a collection of "Quake haiku" -- haiku written by people who play the PC game Quake (I know, I know). http://www.planetquake.com/que/haiku/haiku.htm It is five o' clock time to play a little Quake What the hell?! It's ten! If you’re researching time, you might like the book I’m currently reading on the train back and forth to Chicago every day.

In China, they think of time moving downwards. I’ve lost the online reference to an interesting piece of ethnographic/mind research: In the west we think of time moving, and moving forward at that.

Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Robert Frost - New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

"E però, quando s’ode cosa o vede che tegna forte a sé l’anima volta, vassene ’l tempo e l’uom non se n’avvede" <i>"And hence, whenever aught is heard or seen Which keeps the soul intently bent upon it, Time passes on, and we perceive it not"</i> Dante Alighieri - Divina Commedia (Purgatorio, Canto IV) How do you like a classical point of view from my country?

“E però, quando s’ode cosa o vede
che tegna forte a sé l’anima volta,
vassene ’l tempo e l’uom non se n’avvede”

“And hence, whenever aught is heard or seen
Which keeps the soul intently bent upon it,
Time passes on, and we perceive it not”

Dante Alighieri - Divina Commedia (Purgatorio, Canto IV)

After all, 'he seldom did anything without consulting it: he called it his oracle, and said it pointed out the time for every action of his life.' To Jonathan Swift in 1726 that was worth a bit of satire. Modernity was under way. We're all Gullivers now.
