Truth and Beauty make me think of the final lines of 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' by Keats. This could also be a reference to quarks. The top and bottom quarks, I believe, used to be called truth and beauty.

Anticyclone could mean "advanced toward the most active or culminating period," according to Merriam-Webster. It could also be hinting for us to go counter-clockwise around the clocks.

"Tattered and torn and worn of glory" sounds like a flag to me, but it is probably referring to the "note" instead. Maybe the note is a buried post by Chelsea. It could also be a mucical note (remember 32.7 Hz).

> Two become two more
Are the "two" the clock and the bird, or are they two numbers from each dial (the "clocks atop the citadel beyond the shore") becoming two letters?

Who dreams of "calling birds and pirouetting hands"?
