These lines were quoted in a wonderful little novel by Peter S. Beagle. Extra credit to anybody who remembers the title of the novel or the name of the poet quoted.
No idea on the novel but as I recall the poem is To His Coy Mistress, by Andrew Marvel.
Haven't googled to check that so give me a break if wrong.
