The pastor, despite his mind being plagued by the jingle, attempted to recite a eulogy for his fallen friend. However, the jingle managed to weave itself into his words. His speech also took on the rhythm of the jingle to such an extent that everyone listening to the eulogy began bobbing their heads to it’s rhythm, as if the pastor was spitting bars!
"Ah, Mark, it was a ruinous investment that I made in those heartless rhymes. They have ridden me like a nightmare, day and night, hour after hour, to this very moment. Since I saw you I have suffered the torments of the lost. Saturday evening I had a sudden call, by telegraph, and took the night train for Boston. The occasion was the death of a valued old friend who had requested that I should preach his funeral sermon. I took my seat in the cars and set myself to framing the discourse. But I never got beyond the opening paragraph; for then the train started and the car-wheels began their 'clack, clack-clack-clack-clack! clack-clack! clack-clack-clack!' and right away those odious rhymes fitted themselves to that accompaniment. For an hour I sat there and set a syllable of those rhymes to every separate and distinct clack the car-wheels made. Why, I was as fagged out, then, as if I had been chopping wood all day. My skull was splitting with headache. It seemed to me that I must go mad if I sat there any longer; so I undressed and went to bed. I stretched myself out in my berth, and—well, you know what the result was. The thing went right along, just the same. 'Clack-clack clack, a blue trip slip, clack-clack-clack, for an eight cent fare; clack-clack-clack, a buff trip slip, clack clack-clack, for a six-cent fare, and so on, and so on, and so on punch in the presence of the passenjare!' Sleep? Not a single wink! I was almost a lunatic when I got to Boston. Mark Twain – A Literary Nightmare

Today is the shadow of tomorrow
Today is the present future of yesterday
The words stated above by legendary emcee and producer Madlib echo the meaning of this line. Time continually passes and is ceaseless, the moment we’re in is not only the present, but also the future of a moment ago, but also the past of the moment we’re in now. Time is ceaseless, and is the reason why our time alive is so limited.
