Everything mortal has moments immortal

Words are the only things that last for ever.

Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year; Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly; A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die.

We die, and we do not die.

Let there be a heaven so that man may outlive his grasses.

That is a long word: forever!

On the whole, infinity is a fairly palpable aspect of this business of publishing, if only because it extends a dead author's existence beyond the limits he envisioned, or provides a living author with a future he cannot measure. In other words, this business deals with the future which we all prefer to regard as unending.

Every moment is, in some ways, eternal. Once you put something into the world, it stays there.
