Royal summoned mourners. They came from the village, from the neighboring hills and, wailing like dogs at midnight, laid siege to the house.

After the funeral everyone went away, satisfied that they'd done a good job. ↗

— Truman Capote

It is with flowers as with moral qualities; the bright are sometimes poisonous; but, I believe, never the sweet. ↗
