Happy Halloween, Day 8

For more cartoon strip fun in the spirit of Halloween, I recommend visiting Rebecca's Realm.

Here's one of my favorites. It's especially relevant to yesterday's post:






And now, on with the show:

Link of the Day: Graveyards of Milwaukee (Don't miss the Galleries page!)


Literature of the Day: The word for this poem, I think, is mournful.

“The Vain Spell” (1898)
by Edith Nesbit

The house sleeps dark and the moon wakes white,
The fields are alight with dew;
"Oh, will you not come to me, Love, to-night?
I have waited the whole night through,
For I knew,
O Heart of my heart, I knew by my heart,
That the night of all nights is this,
When elm shall crack and lead shall part,
When moulds shall sunder and shot bolts start
To let you through to my kiss."

( So spake she alone in the lonely house. )
