Text Translation	Calm, by the wall, stands the clock… I hate its noise, it torments me… It reminds me that time is passing… And that…poor me…whatever I do… I must, one day, pass away… Ah! This incessant tick-tock is unbearable! Oh, dear God, silence. Clock, shut up! Do you not hear me, clock? Shut up! Stop, hands! I want silence. I hate that noise, it torments me. It reminds me that Time is passing. Don’t you hear me, clock? Be quiet! —Text by Alexandre Barrière; translated by Philip Brunelle
