To the great lover there is no such thing as time. For what is time when you are in love? Within the lover’s embrace time stands still. Or rather it flows differently: like the sweeping currents around a submerged rock; or like the uneven flow of an academic semester – gently at first, then with greater and greater urgency – mercilessly downstream toward the precipice of exam week, toward the impending crescendo of a shuddering orgasm. Secure in the arms of a lover, time is but a nuisance to be reckoned with in the abstract – like a doctor’s routine rectal examination that has been put off until it is too late or like the insistent knocking of a student oblivious to the office hours so clearly posted on the door. Understand the flow of water from a higher place to a place that is lower and you will understand the flow of time from past to future, the trajectory of history from hope to obsolescence, the great movement of moisture from ignorance to indifference and then ultimately into the awaiting delta of love. Just as the body tenses before orgasm, so too does the progress of time shudder and release, expanding and contracting like the impetuous love muscles of the human body. Controlling these muscles has been the abiding accomplishment of all great lovers – just as it has always been the fancy of man to subjugate the shuddering convulsions of time.
