If we rest and think about its each minute then we will see the vastness of time,just as the Ocean is composed of small drops of water.
In catholic countries we are stunned with the everlasting tolling of Bells to prayers or for the dead in the Apennines and other hill and mountainous districts of Italy.The little Chapel Bell with its simple tinkling sound has a romantic and charming effect.
The ticking of a Clock in the night has nothing very interesting nor very alarming in it though superstition magnifies it into an omen.
The chimes in Holland are a nuisance They dance in the hours and the quarters They leave no respite to the imagination Before one set has done ringing in your ears another begins You do not know whether the hours move or stand still go backwards or forwards so fantastical and perplexing are their accompaniments.
Mr Wordsworth has painted their effect on the mind when he makes his friend Matthew in a fit of inspired dotage
Sing those witty rhymes
About the crazy old church clock
And the bewi1derd chimes .
- William Hazlitt
