""The Course of Time: A Poem in Ten Books"" is an epic poem written by Scottish poet Robert Pollok. The poem is a philosophical exploration of the nature of time, human existence, and the role of God in the universe. It is divided into ten books, each of which represents a different stage in the course of time. The poem begins with a description of the creation of the universe and the fall of Satan.
