Our Seventy-Year Clocks.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, in Exchange
Our brains are seventy year clocks. The Angel
of Life winds them up for all, then closes the
case and gives the key into the hand of the Angel
of Resurrection.
Tic-tac tic -tacl 90 the wheels of thought,
Our will cannot stop them. They cannot stop
themselves. Sleep cannot still them. Madness
only makes them go faster. Death alone can break
into the case, and selling the swinging
pendulum, which we call the heart, silence at last
the clicking of the terrible escapement we have
carried so long beneath our wrinkled foreheads
If we could only get at them, we lie on our
pillows, and count the dead beats of thought after
thought and image after image EARRING through the
over tired organ! Will nobody back those wheels,
uncouple the pinion, cut the string of those
weights, blow up the Internal machine with gun
powder? What passion comes over us sometimes
for silence and rest that this terrible mechanism
unwinding the endless tapestry of time embroid-
cred with spectral figures of life and DEATH could
have but one brief holiday Who can wonder that
men swing themselves off from beams i'm hempen
lassoss that they jump OFF from parapets into the
swift and gurgling waters beneath? that they take
counsel of the grim friend who has to utter but his
one peremptory monosyllable, and the restless
machine is shivered as vase that is dashed upon
marble floor? 49, If any body would only con-
contrive some kind of lever that one could thrust
in among the works of this horrid automation and
check them or alter their rate of going, what
would the world give for the discovery
