When witches go riding, and black cats are seen/the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween...

I don't think we'll be dressing up tonight. Or, will we? Well, maybe not this year...

But if we were it would either have to be as Edward Gorey charactrers...

  ... or as Black Eyed Suzie dolls...

Very Victorian, very goth... our souls endlessly tortured, our lives haunted by ghosts.

"One need not be a chamber to be haunted;

One need not be a house;

The brain has corridors surpassing

Material place."

~ Emily Dickinson ~

Happy Halloween!

Those eyes are those of tortured souls alright! Unbelievably sad eyes. Much too sad to dwell on for long.

Happy Halloween
