These are the desolate, dark weeks when nature in its barrenness equals the stupidity of man. The year plunges into night and the heart plunges lower than night.
William Carlos Williams

Diana, Princess of Wales

William Butler Yeats
Like a fiend in a cloud, With howling woe After night I do crowd And with night will go I turn my back to the east, From whence comforts have increased For light cloth seize my brain With frantic pain.
William Blake
