Happy Halloween!

{via}

What fearful shapes and shadows beset his path,
amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night!
With what wistful look did he eye
every trembling ray of light streaming across the
waste fields from some distant window!
How often was he appalled by some shrub covered with
snow, which, like a sheeted specter, beset his very path!
How often did he shrink with curdling awe
at the sound of his own steps
on the frosty crust beneath his feet;
and dread to look over his shoulder,
lest he should behold some uncouth
being tramping close behind him!
and how often was he thrown
into complete dismay by some rushing blast,
howling among the trees,
in the idea that it was the Galloping Hessian
on one of his nightly scouring!
~Washington Irving (a quote from "The Legend of Sleep Hollow")~

Happy Halloween guys! And for those who will travel, stay safe. God Bless.
