mourning cloak

Soon after Abu Ein died, the Palestinian Authority announced three days of mourning.

The farewell and the mourning are finished by the slaughter of dogs, that the dying man may have forerunners in the other world.

I am thankful that prolonged mourning is out of date; it made a fright of me and was getting on my nerves.

Indeed, it made me understand for the first time that even a Bank Holiday need not be a day of wrath and mourning.

Looking through this hole, the king perceived an old man weeping, a man in mourning garb singing, and a nun or widow dancing.

Then through a hole in the door I saw an old man crying, a dancing nun, and a man in mourning singing.
