W.H Auden - 'Stop all the Clocks' (pt 2/2)
Short, serious intro by Lily Savage followed by a reading of W. H. Auden's poem. 'Song' - best known as 'Stop all the clocks' - was written in 1956. It is read with the accompaniment of music and illustrated by footage of a middle-aged man waking, looking out of the window, walking by seashore and in woodland - and finally through a graveyard.
