The raven...


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

 The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe 1845 - photograph - Wilson Graphics

  3. I loved Poe's tales as a teen, though I was somewhat pre-Punk and certainly very pre-Goth. It's the right season to read them again, methinks!
