W.H. Auden wrote the poem "Stop all the clocks" as a response to the death of his lover, Christopher Isherwood's mother, in 1935. The poem reflects Auden's deep sense of grief and loss, using the imagery of time stopping to convey the overwhelming feeling of despair and finality. The poem captures the universal experience of mourning and the desire to halt time in the face of a loved one's passing.
