VALENCIA, Spain -- Three days of mourning has been declared in Valencia as distraught relatives and friends begin arriving in the eastern port city to identify the victims of the worst subway accident in Spain's history.
At least 41 people were killed -- including the driver -- and another 47 injured on Monday when a train derailed in as it was traveling from Plaza de Espana to Jesus Station, officials say.

I stood at Jesus Station
Dumb and numb.
I stood with my head bowed like the drooping Passion Flower
Fate has trampled on our sunflowers in the heat of summer.
I stood statuesque mumbling the psalms.
With my teardrops in my cold palms.
I have sent my condolences to Toni.
But, no condolences can resurrect the dead.
I can still hear the echoes of the elegies from Plaza de Espana.
The chorus of the bereaved mourners of Valencia.
Tres días no serán suficiente en llorar para España.
I have enjoyed reading your blog tonight and with your permission I have linked to it.
