quest 2: the source
"I was walking along the road with two friends. The Sun was setting -
The Sky turned a bloody red
And I felt a whiff of Melancholy - I stood
Still, deathly tired - over the blue-black
Fjord and City hung Blood and Tongues of Fire
My Friends walked on - I remained behind
- shivering with Anxiety. I felt the great Scream in Nature."From: http://middleschoolpoetry180.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/174-the-scream-edvard-munch/
