Abstract
As Virginia Woolf put it, clocks are machines that strike time. To strike is to hit, but also to found or yield, and in periodically referring to the bell Big Ben marking the hours in her novel Mrs Dalloway, Woolf attends to this intimacy between organization, sound and time passing. As the quarter hours are struck the civic, commercial, ritual and domestic rhythms of London unfold with a distinct yet mutually accommodating order.
