Overgrown

"A melancholy silence shrouded the scene"

"Briars encompass it so thickly, and with such aggressiveness, one cannot approach within five or six feet of the mound"

"On prizing up a few loose stones, one exposes heaps of enormous bluebell bulbs, white and skull-like in shape"

"Unconcernedly the Easter sunshine poured down on that scene of desertion and decay"

"You will find instead only stumps, bumps, and conquering armies of weeds, cruel in their strength"
