Answer:

The Bible’s Ecclesiastes 3.1-4 and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

A. There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

It is modernist literary work which celebrated the diminishing power of traditional sources of authority, especially religion.  Most allusions are made based on shared knowledge and understanding between the reader and the author.
