“The clock in the church tower said 4.32, as it had done for three hundred years. It was right once a day and that was better than no clock at all.”
“The clock strikes off the hollow half-hours of all the life that is left to you, one by one.”
“clocks in disagreement are worse than no clock at all.”
“TIMETimegoes round and roundthe spinning clock,until the fateful daytimefolds it's tired handsand stops.”
