Excerpt from "The Raven"
by Edgar Allen Poe
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak
and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten
lore,”
“Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon
the floor.”
“And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple
curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt
before;”
Assaf & Johnson, 2010
