The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey I seem to remember that Irish Murdoch wrote a novel with the phrase, Momento Mori in the title but the libraries I query don't return a title like this so my recollection may be flawed. If we are talking about temporality without progressive sequence then I would think any of a number of texts which work with the interweaving of memory from moments in the past or anticipations of the future might work with your set of categories. Eliot's "Four Quartets" comes to mind.....plus dozens of other modernist texts which construct temporality as a collection of disjointed moments which are granted causal agency by the remembering mind. Now that I think of it, that is almost a definition of Foucault's _The Order of Things_ or his _Archaeology of knowledge_.
