Although she does go into detail about the eclipse, she spends more time discussing small details. Dillard spends more of the essay focused on minute details throughout the time leading up to the eclipse than the actual eclipse itself. The title “Total Eclipse”, is not talking about the solar eclipse; instead it addresses the eclipses in her life, such as the clown painting, the hotel lobby, the gold mines, and her time in the diner.…

    In The Embers and the Stars by Kohák the intersection of time and eternity is expressed. Kohák has focused on "natural" time, which is to say that time is not just what is expressed by a clock, or with a series of numbers on a clock. "It is, rather, set within the matrix of nature's rhythm which establishes personal yet non-arbitrary reference points." This means that time is not measured in seconds, minutes, or hours but by personal existence and experience. These "reference points" are experiences in your life that are meaningful and you help spatially distinguish points in time. Time as we know it is explained by Kohák as a "construct imposed upon nature's rhythm, subordination and ordering it". He does say that it is a useful construct, but as for the theory of relativity time does not hold up.…
