The clocks were striking 13



As promised Mark, the link between The Canterbury Tales, 1984 and The Wasteland. It's April. The Prologue of the Canterbury Tales starts, " Whan that Aprille with hise shoures soote, the droughte of March hath perced to the roote"....The Wasteland begins "April is the cruellest month..." and 1984 begins; " It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen"
