Haunted Ramparts
Added 2015-10-30 15:42:16 +0000 UTCI wasn't going to do a second Halloween ambience, but in my search for inspirational images I came upon this one, an engraving by R. Thew based on a painting by H. Fuseli (1789). It's such an evocative illustration of the ghost atop Elsinore that I had to go back and read the original scene. There are many film adaptations of Hamlet but only a handful really convey the sheer terror expressed by Hamlet and the guards, Horatio and Marcellus, at the appearance of the ghost in the text. So here's Haunted Ramparts, another Halloween apporpriate ambience.
Thanks for your continuing support!

"Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell
Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death,
Have burst their cerements; why the sepulcher,
Wherein we saw thee quietly interred,
Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws
To cast thee up again. What may this mean,
That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel
Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon,
Making night hideous and we fools of nature,
So horridly to shake our disposition
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
Say why is this? Wherefore? What should we do?"
Hamlet Act I, scene iv
