Dear Pindar Wong,

I read it as

A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil
The Times
They Are A-Changin

in one line after another, as you have written, and searched for an article
with the title "A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil" in The Times !

You were actually referring to a Bob Dylan song? Or the musical?
