happy hallow's eve ~ !


The breeze, the breath of God, is still,
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token.
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!


~ edgar allan poe ~
from "spirits of the dead"

pursuing your fine quote through google
I find it is "spirits of the dead"
and surmise this the source of the anthology
film (vadim/fellini/ and I forget) which played
a lot in japan when I was there maybe because of
the jane fonda in various kinky outfits and brigitte
bardot...but which was a pretty good movie.

Sigh.

No visits with the dead, no candy corn, no banshees wailing, no trick or treaters, no Stingy Jack, no bobbing for apples, no colcannon, no necco wafers, no bonfire ...

Did you get to see kids in costumes or eat candy or anything?
