Emile Verhaeren The Clocks
In the dark silence of the home
Hammer and ratchet, leaden chime
and crafty wooden words.
The conversation of the time may be heard.
Dark time posts in the hall,
Coffins sealed in the wall,
Bones of old time
devoured by the hours,
The clocks, willing and vigilant,
Like ancient servants,
limp in their clogs along the years,
