Quote #10
"Yes, but suddenly one hears a clock tick. We who had been immersed in this world became aware of another. It is painful. It was Neville who changed our time. He, who had been thinking with the unlimited time of the mind, which stretches in a flash from Shakespeare to ourselves, poked the fire and began to live by that other clock which marks the approach of a particular person." (9b.43)
This is the moment where Bernard clarifies this notion of the "time of the mind," which appears to be quite distinct from the time of the clock. Time of the mind is apparently unlimited and spans great swaths of history with ease, whereas plain ol' clock-time is rooted in every day appointments and habit.
