    liquidnight: Still from the final scene of The Third Man, 1949, dir. Carol Reed “The final scene in The Third Man is a long, elegiac sigh. It almost did not exist. Selznick and Greene originally wanted a happy ending. (Greene originally wrote, “… her hand was through his arm”). Reed convinced Greene he was wrong. The movie ends as it begins, in a cemetery, and then Calloway gives Holly a ride back to town. They pass Anna walking on the roadside. Holly asks to be let out of the jeep. He stands under a tree, waiting for her. She walks toward him, past him, and then out of frame, never looking. After a long pause, Holly lights a cigarette and wearily throws away the match. Joseph Cotten recalled later that he thought the scene would end sooner. But Reed kept the camera running, making it an unusually long shot, and absolutely perfect. Of all the movies I have seen, this one most completely embodies the romance of going to the movies. I saw it first on a rainy day in a tiny, smoke-filled cinema on the Left Bank in Paris. It told a story of existential loss and betrayal. It was weary and knowing, and its glorious style was an act of defiance against the corrupt world it pictured.” — Roger Ebert

    My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,  As it is lasting, so be deep!  Soft may the worms about her creep!  Far in the forest, dim and old,  For her may some tall vault unfold —  Some vault that oft hath flung its black  And wingèd panels fluttering back,  Triumphant, o’er the crested palls,  Of her grand family funerals — Some sepulchre, remote, alone,  Against whose portal she hath thrown,  In childhood, many an idle stone —  Some tomb from out whose sounding door  She ne’er shall force an echo more,  Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!  It was the dead who groaned within. The Sleeper by E.A.Poe photo by me, 2007 [Novo Groblje,Beograd]

    My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,  
    As it is lasting, so be deep!  
    Soft may the worms about her creep!  
    Far in the forest, dim and old,  
    For her may some tall vault unfold —  
    Some vault that oft hath flung its black  
    And wingèd panels fluttering back,  
    Triumphant, o’er the crested palls,  
    Of her grand family funerals —
    Some sepulchre, remote, alone,  
    Against whose portal she hath thrown,  
    In childhood, many an idle stone —  
    Some tomb from out whose sounding door  
    She ne’er shall force an echo more,  
    Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!  
    It was the dead who groaned within.
