When I do count the clock

Calcutta is home to many such examples of grand colonial architecture, this one being located on Esplanade, close to the famous New Market.

And to quote Shakespeare,

"When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver’d o’er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer’s green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make..."
