A Clock Stopped -- Not The Mantel's by Emily Dickinson

Performed by
Emily Dickinson
About

In this poem, life (and the end of it) are compared to a clock winding down and to a puppet dangling from a string. Repeatedly, Dickinson reduces life to a mere number game, and avoids giving any justification to the “decades of arrogance in between”.

A Clock Stopped -- Not The Mantel’s Annotated

A clock stopped -- not the mantel's
Geneva's farthest skill
Can't put the puppet bowing
That just now dangled still.

An awe came on the trinket!
The figures hunched with pain,
Then quivered out of decimals
Into degreeless noon.

It will not stir for doctors,
This pendulum of snow;
The shopman importunes it,
While cool, concernless No

Nods from the gilded pointers,
Nods from seconds slim,
Decades of arrogance between
The dial life and him.
