A story about the effects of FTL travel and time distortion. Considering this was written in 1953 it is very new wave. I like my aliens more concrete than this, but the writing was good. ( )

Epigraph
...the days went slowly round and round
endless and uneventful as cycles in space.
Time, and time-pieces! How many centuries did
my hammock tell, as pendulum-like it swung
to the ship's dull roll, and ticked the hours
and ages.
--Herman Melville, in Mardi
