Two rare first editions; C.A.O. Fox, An Anthology of Clocks and Watches, Swansea, 1947, an unusual collation of often amusing poems concerning time, for example;
Here lyes a man, who all his mortal life
Past mending clocks, but could not mend his wyfe.
The 'larum of his bell was ne'er sae shrill
As was her tongue, aye clacking like a mill.
But now he's gone - oh, whither? nane can tell-
I hope beyond the sound of Mally's bell
Arthur Hayden, Chats on old Clocks, London, 1917
