London's famous clock. In D.H. Lawrence's poem, "Town in 1917" (1919), the clock is described both before and during World War I:

And up in the sky
A two-eyed clock, like an owl
Solemnly used to approve, chime, chiming,
Approval, goggle-eyed fowl!

There are no gleams on the River,
No goggling clock; (5-10)

Starting in 1916, the bells were silenced for two years and "the clock faces were not illuminated at night to avoid guiding attacking German Zeppelins."
