History review
Monsieur Gateau was a blind clockmaker who lived in New Orleans, popularly called Mr Kake. . . While his son was away during World War I, Gateau was commissioned to build a clock for the local train terminal. . .
However, soon after, word reached Gateau and his wife that their son had been killed in the war. . .
This struck Gateau hard, but he continued to work on the clock. Finally, the day of the unrevealing came. . .
It was a morning to remember. . .
a number of people turned out, including Theodore Roosevelt.
. . .there were people, everywhere. . .
While the clock was striking in its craftsmanship, once it was started, several of the people noticed a strange thing: the clock ran backwards. Then the clockmaker said. . .
Mr. Kake:"I made it this way... so that perhaps, the boys who were lost in the war might stand and go home again…
... home to farm, to work, have children, to live long, full lives…
Perhaps, my own son might come home again…
I'm sorry if I offended anybody. I hope you enjoy my clock. . ."
Mr kake was never seen again. Some say he died of a broken heart. Some say he went to sea...
The clock he created sat in the station until sometime after the 21st century, when it was taken down and replaced with a digital display clock that ran properly. The clock was housed in the terminal's basement, where it still ticked away, even as flood waters from Hurricane Katrina overtook it.
