"Stop All The Clocks"

This is a rather interesting poem. On one hand you have the view that this is the death of a loved one, however you also have the secondary death of the relationship. The line "I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong" (S. 12), solidifies this idea. The speaker is wanting the moment to forever be remembered by the stopping of the clocks and making sure all is quiet in order for them to be able to soak the moment in. The poem also includes the customary use of light/dark to signafy death and life, "Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun" (S. 14). All in all, the class discussion hit most of the main points of the poem, and really just confirmed what I already though.
