Big Ben, famous synchronizing  appareil , caught in a strange time-void. We move from frame to frame in a blur, each blurred tick of the tall  horloge  caught like a bubble's  surface  in the mesh of a substrate-ether. This ether, though  vide  according to all definitions, still has the ability to  forme  through absence. Oh, how we miss the times that have passed; though we no longer give them thought, it is certain that the  vue  of our attention, and the missing  forme  of their  substance , still blur the  bleu  halo that surrounds such famous clocks at middle-day, just when we pass by on the way to lunch, our  yeux  searching the polarized  lumière  for the time on the  visage , and across the faces of the time, people on the street, for one or another among the masses of the people, the one who we do love.     Cet été-là à Londres, la compagnie du télégraphe avait commencé à se moderniser.
