Korf's clock
Korf a kind of clock invents
where two pairs of hands go round:
one the current hour presents,
one is always backward bound.
When it's two - it's also ten;
when it's three - it's also nine.
you just look at it, and then
time gets never out of line,
for in Korf's astute invention
with its Janus-kindred stride
(wich, of course, was his intention)
time itself is nullified.
Palmstroem's clock
Palstroem's clock - a different kind -
is mimosa-like designed.
All requests are kindly heeded:
Many times the clock proceeded
at the pace that folks were urging
- slowing up or forward surging
for one hour, or two, or three,
as impelled by sympathy.
Though a timepiece, it will never
stick to petty rules, however.
Just a clockwork, slick and smart,
yet a clockwork with a heart.
(Translated from German by Max Knight)
