But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.

Spores from that clock lodged in your flesh to wrinkle it, to grow bones to monstrous size, to burst feet from shoes like turnips. Oh, how that great machine…dispensed Time in blowing weathers.
