Incertainty that once gave scope to dream
Of laughing enterprise and glory untold,
Is now a blackness that no stars redeem.

The royal hair? Jam made from one of Princess Diana's hairs has been selling strong at an art exhibition in London.
Sam Bompas, who founded catering company Bompas and Parr, says a tiny speck of the late princess of Wales' hair has been infused with gin, then combined with milk and sugar to make the preserve, which tastes like condensed milk.
Bompas says he bought the hair off eBay for $10 from a U.S. dealer who collects celebrity hair.
He said Sunday that the product, called "occult jam," aims to provoke people into thinking about food marketing and what they eat.
The jam is an exhibit at a surrealist art show at the Barbican Art Gallery and in the first week 500 of the 5-pound ($7.60) jars have been sold.
RIADAS RETORT: OMG! That is totally gross! I was a fan of hers, but I wouldnt touch that with a 39 1/2 foot pole...let the poor woman rest in peace...she must be spinning in her grave!!
