Have you ever acutely felt the ebb and flow of time, /lit/?

What are some novels that capture that feeling? I know Proust is the obvious answer, but I feel he's not the only one. Speaking for myself, when I was reading The Book of the New Sun, I could really feel the slow passage of hours and days in Severian's journey.

Just look at a mountain bro (unironically)
Just look at stars bro (unironically)
Also read The Tartar Steppe by Buzzati (of course, unironically)

The Magic Mountain
The Sound and The Fury
The Waves
Malone Dies
TS Eliot's poetry

Actually, Proust (whom I haven't read) wasn't the only novelist to capture this. Many if not most authors associated with modernism were preoccupied with the perception of time.
