Darkness By Lord Byron
An extract from a poem from 1816 inspired by the largest volcanic eruption in the history of the world.
I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation; and all hearts
Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light...

Dispatches: How to Stop US Production of Banned Cluster Munitions
One of the two US producers of cluster munitions is Textron Systems, manufacturer of the CBU-105 Sensor Fuzed Weapons used by Saudi Arabia in its ongoing military campaign in Yemen against the Houthis and allied forces since April 2015. Human Rights Watch representatives have regularly met with Textron officials to discuss the company’s production of this weapon, which is banned by the Convention on Cluster Munitions. Textron has reportedly said it does not intend to comment on the new US policy suspending transfers before it gets official confirmation from the government.
