Time
The
ancient Greeks had two words for time,chronos and kairos. While the former
refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in
between, a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens. While
chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature.

The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, F. Goya.
There silence dwells: only the lazy stream of Lethe 'neath the rock with whisper low o'er pebbly shallows trickling lulls to sleep. Before the cavern's mouth lush poppies grow and countless herbs, from whose bland essences a drowsy infusion dewy Nox distils and sprinkles sleep across the darkening world. -Ovid.
