    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.

    liquidnight:“What boots it to tell of the long, long hours of horror more than mortal, during which I counted the rushing oscillations of the steel! Inch by inch—line by line—with a descent only appreciable at intervals that seemed ages—down and still down it came! Days passed—it might have been that many days passed—ere it swept so closely over me as to fan me with its acrid breath. The odor of sharp steel forced itself into my nostrils. I prayed—I wearied heaven with my prayer for its more speedy descent. I grew frantically mad, and struggled to force myself upward against the sweep of the fearful scimitar. And then I fell suddenly calm, and lay smiling at the glittering death, as a child at some rare bauble.” —Edgar Allan Poe, The Pit and the Pendulum From The Illustrated Edgar Allan Poe by Wilfried “Sätty” Podriech

    AND the will therein lieth, which dieth not. Who knoweth the mysteries of the will, with its vigor? For God is but a great will pervading all things by nature of its intentness. Man doth not yield himself to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will. Joseph Glanvill. from  E.A.Poe’s Ligeia Cover via adski_kafeteri [for yama-bato:]
