The tolling bell
Measures time not our time, rung by the unhurried
Ground swell, a time
Older than the time of chronometers, older
Than time counted by anxious worried women
Lying awake, calculating the future,

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
