Time catches up with kingdoms and crushes them, gets its teeth into doctrines and rends them; time reveals the foundations on which any kingdom rests, and eats at those foundations, and it destroys doctrines by proving them to be untrue.
–James Baldwin

This thing, all things, devours
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers
Bites iron, gnaws steel
Grinds hard stones to meal
Slays kings, ruins towns
And beats high Mountains down
~J. R. R. Tolkien
