Haste

Hastened like homing pigeons, which do not look behind.
—Hamlin Garland

Haste … like flaming tapers brightening as they wasted.
—James Whitcomb Riley

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end.
—William Shakespeare

Hastes … like as war horse to the fray.
—Johann Wulffer
