Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Black Bedroom: Ralph Lauren 2005
Not one, of all the crowd,
to pry Into thine hour of secrecy.
Poison Taffy Apples via Noir Blanc Design
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness
Cad rendering #Konitz
— for then The spirits of the dead,
who stood In life before thee, are again
In death around thee,
and their will Shall overshadow thee;
be still.
From “Spirits of the Dead” by Edgar Allan Poe
