Makes me think of the perpetuum mobile, a fascinating idea IMO.

I can never read that word without thinking of this song: Almighty God by Duke Ellington. Sang in my choir and it's such a beautiful song. Ms. Alice Babs was Swedish, so a bit of pride in that too.

Perpetuity is one of those states which is relative in multiple ways both in terms of time and desirability. You can love, hate, or be ambivalent toward it.
