"These were written some time ago," he said; "One of them is much better than the other. There are some fine lines in that ode to Niagara I composed them on the spot." On my observing the signature of Delta affixed to these productions, he smiled, and said, with much complacency, "My name is David Moir."
But perhaps the passage is only an allusion to Thrasyboulos' boyhood as a time past. And certainly both Xenokrates and his brother Theron seem to be spoken of in this ode as already dead, and we know that Theron did not die till 473.

But, on the other hand, it must be remembered that the voluminous Duchess of Newcastle, in her "Ode on Melancholy," describes among the symbols of hopeless gloom "the still moonshine night" and "a mill where rushing waters run about," the sweetest natural images. So woman has not so much to claim, after all.
"But time is flying, the minutes are going by, and not only the minutes. There is an old and charming. French ode, which you do not know and which begins: 'Le temps s'en va, le temps s'en va, Madame. Las, le temps? Non. Mais nous nous en allons."
