Requirements: ePUB reader, 3.4Mb
Overview: MAN, WHO HAS CONQUERED TERRESRIAL SPACE, IS HELPLESS IN THE TIME DIMENSION. The onward-rushing hour hand cuts down his numbered days, for the clock is a dreadful instrument, the impartial ruler of the brief span of consciousness which lies between the warm darkness of the womb and the cold everlasting night of the grave. Yet we surround ourselves with clocks, place them on towers high above our cities, mount them as the guardians of our streets and highways, and even bring them into our homes, where their sharp, brisk ticking marks the passage of the fleeting seconds with which we are all too meagerly endowed.
