«...Αυτός που τώρα είναι αργός θα γίνει γρήγορος,
όπως το τώρα θάχει γίνει παρελθόν.
Το κατεστημένο αποσυντίθεται γοργά.
Κι αυτός που πρώτος είναι τώρα, μετά θα είναι ο τελευταίος.
Γιατί οι καιροί αλλάζουνε...»

"…The slow one now will later be fast,
as the present now will later be past.
The order is rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now will later be last.
For the times they are a-changin'…"
Robert Allen Zimmerman
