Doom and gloom Quote by Gabi Kreslehner
““It was all doom and gloom outside: wind, rain, and it was not getting any lighter. When the Danube sent the fog, everything sank into a state of insignificance. People wandered around aimlessly as if nothing concerned them. She walked to the room telephone,””
