Chime Tower
The hour is kept on bronze and on the sack. Seat the bag, take the clapper, let the square hear it. Light hits do not chime.
Chime Tower · step 1/4
Stairs to the belfry
Stone spiral, rope rail, no elevator for the bag-chime crew. You climb bare from the waist down—city rule on chime days. The bell above is already warm from the last hour.
Clock faces the square. The cradle faces you.
