Which of these excerpts highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life?

A-But at my back I always hear

Time's winged chariot hurrying near;

And yonder all before us lie

Deserts of vast eternity.

(Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress")

B-And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well

And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?

One short sleep past, we wake eternally

And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

(John Donne, Sonnet 10)

C-Of what is fit and not. Forsake thy cage,

Thy rope of sands,

Which petty thoughts have made, and made to thee

(George Herbert, "The Collar")

D-Thy beams, so reverend and strong

Why shouldst thou think?

I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,

But that I would not lose her sight so long;

(John Donne, "The Sun Rising")
