Setting forth from eternity, time returns again to the bosom of eternity, wearied by its long journey...
By virtue of this necessity of returning upon itself, time may be seen to be rooted in eternity, and eternity to be expressed in time. All that is moved is subject to time, but it is from eternity that all contained in the vastness of time is born, and into eternity that all is to be resolved... Thus the universe is ordered by time, but time itself is governed by order.
Bernardus Silvestris, Cosmographia
Megacosmos, chapter 4
