There is the spontaneous and accidental ghost who is seldom caught in the act; there is the able-bodied materialised ghost whom we catch in the act occasionally, and preserve our mental balance by clinging to his watch-chain and seals; they may be distinguished as the timeless ghost and the ghost who occasionally does time.
It can't be put off. Timmy was heart-wrenching enough by himself, but I've had to watch the change in you in the past few months. You're getting ... well, we'll call it hysterical. I could cut off my arm for saying this, honey, but, if we keep Timmy any longer, you'll just have a breakdown, that's all!" She moaned softly, rocking back and forth in misery's timeless attitude.
Then stamping furiously on the gems, he exclaimed, "Thus I annihilate the miserable toys for which thou hast sold thyself, body and soul consigned thyself to an early and timeless death, and me to misery and remorse for ever! Tell me not of forgiveness, Varney she is doomed!" So saying, he left the room, and rushed into an adjacent closet, the door of which he locked and bolted.
Actually, very little time passed before the explosion, but to the watchers the seconds dragged endlessly. Then at twenty-seven miles, the screen flared into a sheet of blinding white radiance. There was a timeless instant then a tremendous wave of sound, a roaring, stunning concussion smote the ship, shaking it with unrestrained fury to cease as abruptly as it came.
"Tallie is, mon Dieu," she computed, rising "she was twenty-three when I was born and I am nearly fifty" Madame von Marwitz was as far above cowardly reticences about her age as a timeless goddess "Tallie is actually seventy-two.

"It is the custom of our Royal House, from the days of the Timeless Kings, the children of Horus. An old custom." "The ways of his hosts are good in the eyes of a stranger," said the Wanderer, courteously.
The tale which the absolute reader finds so perfect, we spoil for one another through our several vital identifications with the destinies of the particular personages involved. The doctrine on which the absolutists lay most stress is the absolute's 'timeless' character.
"Frowns," says Shelley rhetorically, as if he thought that something timeless, something merely ideal, could be formidable, or could threaten existing things with any but an ideal defeat. Tremendous error! Eternal possibilities may indeed beckon; they may attract those who instinctively pursue them as a star may guide those who wish to reach the place over which it happens to shine.

She sat down idly before her dressing-table and met again her sallowed face in the mirror.
