pendulums
Grandfather clock hearts
Pendulums is the plural of pendulum, a weight suspended from a fixed point so it can swing freely back and forth.
The classic example is the swinging weight that regulates a grandfather clock.
Figuratively, a pendulum describes anything that shifts between extremes: The political pendulum swings left and right over generations.
Public opinion acts like a pendulum.
