Three women sit in chairs beside a stream atnight. They are wearing white nightdresses. They brush their hair. There is an air about them of melancholy, wistfulness. In the woods beyond, an empty coffin lies open.
Far way on the other side of the hill, a man wanders. He has hanged himself. Mild of nature, he still wears the rope as he searches.
