England's on the anvilhear the hammers ring Clanging from the
Severn to theTyne!

Seize the loud, vociferous bells, and Clashing, Clanging to the pavement Hurl them from their windy tower!
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowAs the many-winter'd crow that leads the Clanging rookery home.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a Clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
