(e.a.poe) Jeff performed a reading of poem by edgar allan poe for the tribute compilation closed on account of rabies, produced by hal willner.
The were ashen and sober, The leaves they crisped and sere, The they were withering and sere; It was in the lonesome october Of my immemorial year; It was hard by the dim of auber, In the mid region of weir, It was down by the tarn of auber, In the ghoul-haunted of weir.
Here once, an alley, titanic, Of cypress, I with my soul, Of cypress, psyche, my soul. These were days when my was volcanic As the rivers that roll, As the lavas that restlessly Their sulphurous currents down In the ultimate of the pole, That groan as they roll down mount In the realms of the pole.
Our had been serious and sober, But our thoughts they were and sere, Our memories treacherous and sere, For we not the month was october, And we marked not the night of the (ah, night of all in the year!); We not the dim lake of auber (though we had journeyed down here), Remembered not the tarn of auber, Nor the woodland of weir.
And now, as the night was And pointed to morn, As the star-dials of morn, At the end of our a liquescent And lustre was born, Out of which a miraculous Arose a duplicate horn
Astarte's crescent with it's duplicate horn. And I said: "she is warmer dian; She rolls through an of sighs, She in a region of sighs:
She has seen that the are not dry on These cheeks, where the never dies, And has come the stars of the lion, To point us the to the skies, To the lethean of the skies; up, in despite of the lion, To shine on us with her eyes, up through the lair of the lion, With love in her eyes."
But psyche, her finger, Said: "sadly this I mistrust, Her I strangely mistrust; Oh, hasten! oh, let us not linger! Oh, fly! let us fly! for we must." In terror she spoke, letting her Wings they trailed in the dust; In agony sobbed, letting her till they trailed in the dust, Till they trailed in the dust.
I "this is nothing but dreaming: Let us on by tremulous light! Let us in this crystalline light! Its sibyllic splendor is hope and in beauty to-night!
Ah, we safely may trust to gleaming, And be sure it will lead us We may trust to a gleaming That cannot but us aright, Since it flickers up to through the night."
Thus I pacified and kissed her, And her out of her gloom, And conquered her scruples and And we to the end of the vista, But were stopped by the of a tomb, By the door of a tomb, And I said:"what is written, sister, On the door of legended tomb? " She "ulalume! ulalume! 'tis the of thy lost ulalume!"
my heart it grew ashen and sober As the that were crisped and sere, As the that were withering and sere, And I cried: "it was october On this very night of last That I journeyed, I journeyed here, I brought a dread burden down here, Of this night of all in the year, Ah, what has tempted me here? Well I know, now, dim lake of auber, misty mid region of weir, Well I know, now, dank tarn of auber, This ghoul-haunted of weir."
Said we, two, then--"ah, can it Have been the woodlandish ghouls The pitiful, the ghouls To bar up our way and to ban it From the secret that lies in wolds the thing that lies hidden in these wolds Had drawn up the of a planet From the limbo of souls This sinfully planet From the hell of the souls?
