Instagram is killing me. By far, *most* of the quotes that people are circulating as Shakespeare are, in fact, not. Here’s the latest:
“Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.”

That’s Henry van Dyke, an American author born in 1852. So to call it Shakespeare is off by almost 300 years and a continent.
apart from the contra on author, the verse is good. enjoyed it. i’m in it first. thanks.
