Now, predictable, disposable, eternal.
Kiss me quick / Squeeze me slow.
‘The sea stretched away to the south-west, to rise into a sharp bright horizon against the wan sky. There were no breakers and no waves, for not a breath of wind was stirring. Only a slight oily swell rose and fell like a gentle breathing, and showed that the eternal sea was still moving and living.’
- H.G. Wells, The Time Machine
