Tower Clocks

Famous quotes containing the words tower and/or clocks:

“Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“It was a bright, cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
