Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new... but who can understand and measure its sharp breath, its mystery and its design?

The image of time as a “brisk wind” emphasizes its invisibility yet undeniable force: it moves through human life continuously, bringing change with each passing hour. The “sharp breath” suggests time’s cutting edge—its capacity to erode, age, and transform, sometimes painfully. The closing questions shift from description to humility: even if we feel time’s effects, its deeper logic (“mystery and…design”) remains beyond full human calculation. Read in a Paracelsian key, the line resonates with a worldview in which nature is dynamic, charged with hidden causes, and only partially legible to human reason—inviting wonder as much as inquiry.
