"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain"

— Warren Zevon

"It is well
That London, lair of sudden
Male and female darknesses,
Has broken her spell."

— D. H. Lawrence in a poem on a London blackout
during a bombing raid in 1917. See also today's previous

Backstory— Recall, from history's nightmare on this date,
