<P> Hood wrote humorously on many contemporary issues . One of the most important issues in his time was grave robbing and selling of corpses to anatomists (see West Port murders). On this serious and perhaps cruel issue, he wrote wryly, </P> <P> Don't go to weep upon my grave, And think that there I be . They haven't left an atom there Of my anatomie . </P> <P> November in London is usually cool and overcast, and in Hood's day subject to frequent fog and smog . In 1844 he wrote, </P> <P> No sun - no moon! No morn - no noon - No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day . No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member - No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds - November! </P>
