[edit] "It was a dark and stormy night"

The famous opening line of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel, Paul Clifford, published this year, begins:

"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."

The author is today honored with the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.
