Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!

Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!

"Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!" is a powerful line from William Shakespeare's play "King Lear". This quote is spoken by the character Edgar in Act 1, Scene 2, as he laments the chaos and turmoil that has descended upon the kingdom. The imagery of the heavens being hung with black conveys a sense of darkness and despair, while the idea of day yielding to night symbolizes the loss of order and stability.
