These are the last bells that call when someone has died, far from the happy jingling Silver Bells. The speaker included “What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!” The word “monody” is like a single melody but also the sounds of a funeral song. This gives readers idea of the quick sense of death, how a fast a rhythm or song is…
