If I was stuck on a desert isle....

This is my 5 lines that I take with me to a desert island. They are located in the story of Pythagoras (pg 522) and the person speaking is Helen.

...and she asks how she
could ever have been sought and carried off
as prize--not once, but twice. You, Time, as well
as envious Old Age, devour all;
with gnawing teeth, with slow and lingering
demise, you two destroy, consume all things.
