Nevermore

072210


And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!
~Edgar Allen Poe

  2. Perfectly illustrated verse!

    I hope your day and weekend aren't quite as Poe-etic. Sending smiles your way!

  4. That's one of the few poems Poe wrote that I liked. I loved his short stories, but I always thought his poetry tried too hard. The Raven was one of the notable exceptions.

    Love the photo though!

  5. What a stark and scary looking picture. Of course, that's probably cause the Poe poem has the hair standing up on the back of my neck, too. Loved it ... nicely done!
