My uncle gave me an hourglass.

Source: tatoeba (1172825)

The hourglass will indicate the end of the fight.

Source: tatoeba (1172830)

Mary has an hourglass figure.

Source: tatoeba (1386879)

And when the hourglass has run out, the hourglass of temporality, when the noise of secular life has grown silent and its restless or ineffectual activism has come to an end, when everything around you is still, as it is in eternity, then eternity asks you and every individual in these millions and millions about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not.
