Hi again, moot. I'd like to explain my support of the lines "Like a scythe the clocks hands reave" in the hopes that it will not hit the cutting room floor.
Aside from the fun sonics I find the image easy to reach, the sharpened edge of those clock hands that vary their pace for no one, cutting anything in their path without hesitation and continuing their steady movement forward. We've all heard the expression "Life went by in the blink of an eye." I think from the far end of a long life, or even a shorter one, death (or even a life-changing event) can seem to come quickly and forcefully even though it has been a long time building.
