That's a beautiful poem with vivid imagery. It nicely captures the city at that moment in time. Christian churches have bells, but they sound different because we bang them multiple times. The sound has different meaning for us (such as a signal for danger, time, wedding ceremony, church attendance, and death). While some places still ring them, the practice is not allowed in most large cities of North America. Thank you for your thorough explanation of the context behind the poems. Fun to read.
