Impious clutch

impious clutch, means?
  

Top answer

What is the rest of the sentence? It sounds TO ME like someone is having car trouble, and is euphemistically berating the offending part. But it could be something else entirely!

it is a fragment of poem I read.

"Now without comfort,

Sadly groans in the power of a foreign people,

and slowly dies

In the impious clutch of Spain."

Aha! It is different!

to clutch is to hold very tightly, especially with claws - The eagle clutches a fish in its talons. It can mean to hold something very tightly close to your body, so that someone cannot steal it. The woman clutched her purse so tightly that the robbers could not take it from her.

The noun "clutch" is usally seen plural (clutches) and it means a grasp
