“Time is very slow for those who wait;
very fast for those who are scared;
very long for those who lament;
very short for those who celebrate; but for those who love, time is eternal.”
- William Shakespeare
very fast for those who are scared;
very long for those who lament;

This poem connects to the story, The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom in many ways. The poem says that time is slow for those who wait. This connects to Victor Delamonte, because he is waiting for New Years Eve, the date he will freeze himself, and he feels that time is moving slowly. Sarah connects to the verse: time is very long for those who lament. Sarah is upset and constantly feeling bad about herself because the person who she thought cared about her treated her meanly and cruelly. Sarah feels that time is too long and decides to end her life, because of her poor self image. The verse: for those who love, time is eternal, connects to Dor. Dor loved his wife, Alli, and he still loved her after six thousand years. For Dor, time is eternal.
