Forest Haven (Laurel, MD) | a black day

Upon the spirit aching for the light
And all the wide horizon's line is hid
By a black day sadder than any night
. . . . . . . .
And hearses without drum or instrument,
File slowly through my soul; crushed, sorrowful,
Weeps Hope, and Grief, fierce and omnipotent,
Plants his black banner on my drooping skull."
- Goethe
