“Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels”
only when the clock stops does time come to life.“And so I told myself to take that one. Because Father said clocks slay time. He said time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life. The hands were extended, slightly off the horizontal at a faint angle, like a gull tilting into the wind.”
William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury“Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels”
only when the clock stops does time come to life.
