The suicide, as she is falling
Illuminated by the moon
Regrets her act, and finds appalling
The fact she will be dead so soon.

There was a recent case of an older man, though only in his fifties I believe, who was an accomplished film director ... I forget his name. I also forget which bridge he jumped off, even though I looked it all up in Google Maps at the time. LA or SF.

The striking thing was that he was still very fit, and was seen to stop and put on climbing shoes, then without hesitation, scale the tall fence and leap from the top. Maybe he had just learned he was dying or something.

Darkly beautiful. I never knew the artist was Edward Gorey. Thank you for that introduction. How darkly he saw.
