"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone"

I really enjoyed this poem and how it describes how a woman has lost the love of her life. This man ment everything to her, he was her world, her lover, her reason for awaking everyday. But described in this sentence "I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong" "Stope all the clocks, cut off the telephone." W.H. Auden. It describes in the beginning how everything stops for a moment during a funeral and everyone is quite while the body is brought out. Everyone wants love in there lives even if they dont believe they do. In the end of this poem she describes how life isn't worth living anymore. Nothing will make her happy anymore so take it all way stating in this sentence "For nothing now can ever come to any good" W.H. Auden. Some people after losing a loved one completely stop living as if life can not go on and will not be the same. This is true to a point because yes your life will be different without that person that was by your side for so long doing the thing with you, but you can still enjoy life and keep on living in a different way.
