Measure commences, is a finite thing.
The Ring has no beginning, middle, end.

A Summer Day
by Edward Carpenter (1844-1929)
Love from the mountains led his sheep,
Once, on a summer day,
Into a valley green and deep,
Under rock-ramparts gray;

Twilight at Sea

As lightly and as free,
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
