Grief hath stern and silent powers,
And her house is proud ;
Not to-day's cold guarded hours
Is despair allow'd ;
But, shut out with haughty fears,
Pride with daylight disappears,
From the lovely Zegri Ladye -
The Ladye weeping there. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

Grief hath stern and silent powers, And her house is proud ; Not to-day's cold guarded hours Is despair allow'd ; But, shut out with haughty fears, Pride with daylight disappears, From the lovely Zegri Ladye - The Ladye weeping there.

Our house is burning and we look elsewhere. Nature mutilated, overexploited is not able to recover and we refuse to admit it. From North to South, it suffers from ill-development, and we are indifferent. Earth and humanity are in great peril and we are accountable.
