Still comes no answer to my greatest question Am I two clocks, or am I only one? I know my Body is wound up to go A certain number of days, and all is done. But is my mind another clock, wound up To add its chimes to those immortal spheres; One clock for Earth, to run its numbered days, The other for my more-than-mortal years?
