Art of Noise - Opus 4

OPUS 4

No sun no moon!
No morn no noon
No dawn no dusk
no proper time of day
No sky no earthly view
No distance looking blue
No road no street
no "t'other side the way"
No end to any Row
No indications where the Crescents go
No top to any steeple
No recognitions of familiar people
No courtesies for showing 'em
No knowing 'em!
No travelling at all
no locomotion,
No inkling of the way
no notion
No go" by land or ocean
No mail no post
No news fom any foreign coast
No Park - no Ring
no afternoon gentility
No company no nobility
No warmth, no cheerfilness,
no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member
No shade, no shine,
no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flow'rs,
no leaves, no birds,
November!

-Thomas Hood, 1842.
