A comment on Medieval staircases were NOT built going clockwise for the defender's advantage. Parent comment
Thou art thyself, though not "clockwise".
What's "clockwise"? It is nor hand, nor pen-
dulum, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a clock. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So "Widdershins" would, were it not "Widdershins" call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Widdershins, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all my turns.
