Part 1 — PAST
Reading edition
The clocks are chiming in my heart Their cobweb chime; Old murmurings of days that die, The sob of things a-drifting by. The clocks are chiming in my heart!
The stars have twinkled, and gone out— Fair candles blown! The hot desires burn low, and wan Those ashy fires, that flamed anon. The stars have twinkled, and gone out!
John Galsworthy [1867-1933]
