mood

The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes  

The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes  

Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening  Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,  Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys

What is the mood?

Sad/MelancholySlide21

Tone

"Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again

endued with

animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then; but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived.“

What is the tone?Terror, scary, horrific

"I shall be telling this with a sigh/Somewhere ages and ages hence:/Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,/I took the one less traveled by,/And that has made all the difference

.“What is the tone?

sullen, unhappy, regretful
