Author's Note: I have noticed that in the story Jekyll and Hyde, that the weather seems to be a strong motif and it is usually linked to a certain character or idea within the story. The most obvious weather pattern in the story is the fog that lingers about for almost all of the 4th chapter and carries into the 5th as well. The idea that I saw in the story was that as the fog continues to condense around the area, Dr. Jekyll becomes more and more ill, however in the fog there are still beams of light piercing through the cloud...

With a faint hint, 
the fog gets thicker.
And with every second, 
Dr. Jekyll gets sicker.

The lanterns float in the street, 
with an astonishing glow.
Thoughts and memories fade,
thoughts from long ago.



With a change in the wind, 
the sense of all direction.
The situation changes, 
along with all protection.

With his hands, his face covered,
waking a sense of doom.
Behind his muffled hands, 
a scarred face of gloom.

But even in all times, 
when one is feeling blue.
The fog fades away, 
and the light shines through.
