    Ah, Faustus,
    Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
    And then thou must be damned perpetually!
    Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
    That time may cease and midnight never come!
    Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again and make
    Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
    A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
    That Faustus may repent and save his soul!
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    “Danger! What danger do you foresee?”
    Holmes shook his head gravely. “It would cease to be a danger if we could define it,” said he.
