The City in the Sea - Wikisource - 0 views

  • Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie.
  • But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently- Gleams up the pinnacles far and free-
  • While from a proud tower in the town Death looks gigantically down.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • No swellings tell that winds may be Upon some far-off happier sea-
  • No heavings hint that winds have been On seas less hideously serene.
  • The waves have now a redder glow- The hours are breathing faint and low-
  • And when, amid no earthly moans, Down, down that town shall settle hence, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence.

Alone (Poe) - Wikisource - 0 views

  • From childhood's hour I have not been As others were — I have not seen As others saw — I could not bring My passions from a common spring — From the same source I have not taken My sorrow — I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone — And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone
  • Then — in my childhood — in the dawn Of a most stormy life — was drawn From ev'ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still
  • From the torrent, or the fountain — From the red cliff of the mountain
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • From the sun that 'round me roll'd In its autumn tint of gold
  • From the lightning in the sky As it pass'd me flying by — From the thunder, and the storm — And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view

The Raven and Other Poems/The Valley of Unrest - Wikisource - 0 views

  • Now each visiter shall confess The sad valley's restlessness. Nothing there is motionless—
  • Nothing save the airs that brood Over the magic solitude.
  • Over the lilies there that wave And weep above a nameless grave! They wave:—from out their fragrant tops Eternal dews come down in drops. They weep:—from off their delicate stems Perennial tears descend in gems.

  • And one by one, from out their tops Eternal dews come down in drops,

The Sleeper - Wikisource - 0 views

  • At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon.
  • A conscious slumber seems to take, And would not, for the world, awake.

Tales (Poe)/The Fall of the House of Usher/ The Haunted Palace - Wikisource - 0 views

  • And all with pearl and ruby glowing  Was the fair palace door, Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing  And sparkling evermore,
  • A troop of Echoes whose sweet duty  Was but to sing, In voices of surpassing beauty,  The wit and wisdom of their king.
  • And travelers now within that valley,  Through the red-litten windows, see Vast forms that move fantastically  To a discordant melody;
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • While, like a rapid ghastly river,  Through the pale door, A hideous throng rush out forever,  And laugh—but smile no more.

Dreams (Poe) - Wikisource - 0 views

  • For I have revell'd, when the sun was bright I' the summer sky, in dreams of living light
  • Dreams! in their vivid coloring of life, As in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife Of semblance with reality, which brings To the delirious eye, more lovely things Of Paradise and Love—and all our own! Than young Hope in his sunniest hour hath known.
Sunny Jackson

Dream-Land - Wikisource - 0 views

  • Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore;
  • Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire;
  • There the traveller meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the Past-
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer by-

A Dream Within a Dream - Wikisource - 0 views

  • Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow—
  • You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream;
  • Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
  • I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand— How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep—while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave?
  • Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
  • for Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes. And Barbara with infinite love as I falter on the road to Ithaka
