 Gate Haven - Hall of Obscurity - Episode Trivia - Time Again and World

As posted by Blinker (6/24/05)


While many fans took "Time Again and World" for a misprint of "Time and Again World" or "Time and World Again," writer Jacob Epstein has confirmed that the title is accurate, and added that it was inspired by a poem.

But which poem?

The most likely possibility is Andrew Marvell's 17th century classic To His Coy Mistress, which begins: "Had we but world enough, and time..." The line is both well-known enough to have inspired several other titular allusions (from a science-fiction anthology called "Worlds Enough and Time" to a physics history called "World Enough and Space-Time"), and similar enough that some sites have misreported the episode title as "Time Enough and World" (which in turn is a common misquote from the poem.)
