The Cheerful Mourn
Anon
Genre: | News-Commentary, Drollery |
Subjects: | Astronomy, Religion, Superstition |
Notes the continued shining of the sun, moon, and stars despite the death of the Emperor of China, a figure believed to have a 'close relationship' with all celestial bodes. Expected that the constellations would have marked his death more sorrowfully. | |
