hold

How much of the present can you hold? 

From this morning -- Aurora...

Aurora now had left her saffron bed,

And beams of early light the heav'ns o'erspread,

When, from a tow'r, the queen, with wakeful eyes,

Saw day point upward from the rosy skies.

--Virgil, The Aeneid

...and this afternoon, Sol.
