It jogs my memory of gray's "Elegy Written in a rustic Churchyard" ... The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea, The plowman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the international to darkness and to me. etc. I bear in mind first analyzing that throughout the time of severe college (many moons in the past!).
