Clocks

“

And all the way, to guide their chime,
With falling oars they kept the time.

Andrew Marvell

“

At my dying hour, and over my long life,
A clock strikes somewhere at the city’s edge.

Rabindranath Tagore

“

Hickory dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down;
Hickory dickory dock.

Anonymous: Nursery Rhymes

“

Strapped, noosed, nighing his hour,
He stood and counted them and cursed his luck;
And then the clock collected in the tower
Its strength, and struck.

A. E. Housman

“

Lord, through this hour
Be Thou our Guide,
So by Thy power
No foot shall slide.

Anonymous

“

The clock, not the steam-engine, is the key-machine of the modern industrial age.

Lewis Mumford
