00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I Heart three D Audio. Welcome to brain Stuff production

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: of I Heart Radio. Hey there, brain Stuff. Lauren Vogelbaum

3
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: here with a special three D episode. So make sure

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: that you have headphones or earbuds ready, because after we

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the life and times of

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Edgar Allan Poe, we're going to have for you a

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: special three D reading of his poem The Raven. Whether

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: you were introduced to Edgar Allan Poe through his short

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: stories or his poems, a mention of his name is

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: enough to conjure up a sense of eeriness. This early

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: American writer has been credited with inventing the detective story,

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: pioneering science fiction, and of course, revolutionizing dark fiction. He's

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: the subject of three museums, the Poem Museum in Richmond, Virginia,

14
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum in Baltimore, Maryland,

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: and the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: Many fans of the writer also enjoy visiting his grave

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: at Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore. Along with

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: his long lasting literary popularity, Poe was equally known for

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: his literary criticism and if his career as a writer

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: now seems inevitable. No one would have suspected it at

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: the beginning. Born in Boston to traveling actors in eighteen

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: o nine, Poe had become an orphan by the age

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: of three. A Scottish immigrant and tobacco merchant, John Allen

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: and his wife Francis, brought Poe to Richmond and raised

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: him as their foster child. His new father expected that

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Poe would become a businessman like he was, but the

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: boy had other aspirations. Poe left home to study at

28
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: the University of Virginia in eighteen twenty six without much

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: support from Allen, who provided him with a meager allowance.

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: In an attempt to increase his income, Poe began gambling,

31
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: which led him to debt rather than prosperity. Allen refused

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: to cover his losses, and Poe dropped out of university.

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: The relationship with his father strained. Poe joined the U.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: S Army and later entered the United States Military Academy

35
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: at West Point. By that time, he determined that he

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: would become a writer and published his first book, Tamerlane

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: and Other Poems, pieces, largely inspired by Lord Byron. His

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: time at West Point was cut short when he was expelled,

39
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: probably not as rumors have had it, for drinking, fighting,

40
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: or nudity, but rather for offenses like skipping class and chapel.

41
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Perhaps the end of his military career was for the best.

42
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Poe always knew he was meant to be a writer,

43
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: and he was right. After West Point, Poe returned to Baltimore,

44
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: got left out of Allen's will when he died, and

45
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: began publishing his own short stories, acquiring an editorial position

46
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: with the magazine Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond. Poe added,

47
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: literary critics is m to a skill set. His reviews

48
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: were known for their critical and exacting nature. But if

49
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: critics are sometimes accused of operating from a perspective of arrogance,

50
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: not having done the work themselves, Poe was different. He

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: was a writer himself. Indeed, Pope felt it was his

52
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: duty to bring American writers up to higher standards. According

53
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: to the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site for the

54
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: article this episode is based on How Stuff Works. Spoke

55
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: with Paul Voss, Associate professor of English at Georgia State University.

56
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: He said he was on the leading edge of what

57
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: it meant to be a professional writer. He was a craftsman.

58
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: He put in the time when Poe was writing, American

59
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: literature was still in its infancy. Post contemporaries included Herman

60
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne, while Mark Twain was just a

61
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: teenager when Poe died. As a writer and magazine editor,

62
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Poe campaigned to improve the profession, pushing for better pay

63
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: and copyright laws. At the age of twenty seven, he

64
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: married thirteen year old for Ginia Clem, his first cousin.

65
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: He continued writing, moved to New York and Philadelphia, and

66
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: struggled financially. His situation improved in eighteen forty five when

67
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: his poem The Raven made him a household name, but

68
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: two years later, in eighteen forty seven, Virginia died of tuberculosis,

69
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: and Poe would soon follow her to the grave. His

70
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: works include stories like The Tell Tale Heart and The

71
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: Fall of the House of Usher, plus poems like The

72
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Bells and Annabelle Lee. If you're looking to dip your

73
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: toe in Poe's greatest hits, start with the select works

74
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: on the Poem Museum website. They're available in full for

75
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: free online as are his other works now in the

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: public domain. Following Virginia's death, Poe is reported to have

77
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: increased his alcohol consumption, but by the summer of eighteen

78
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: forty nine he had become re engaged to his ex fiancee,

79
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Elmira Royster, but the two were not destined to marry.

80
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: Stopping in Baltimore while traveling, Poe disappeared for five days.

81
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: He was spotted near a pub, possibly drunk, wearing strange

82
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: clothing that was not his, in and out of consciousness.

83
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: A few mornings later, he died in a hospital at

84
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the age of forty. Many theories have been suggested about

85
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: his death, ranging from alcohol poisoning to epilepsy to tuberculosis,

86
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: but another theory posits that Poe fell victim to corrupt

87
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: politicians in Baltimore who attacked men, drugged and disguised them,

88
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: and took them to vote repeatedly at various polling places,

89
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: and then left them for dead. Originally buried in an

90
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: unmarked grave and an inauspicious location at Westminster, Poe was

91
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 1: moved thanks to Baltimore school children who raised enough money

92
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: with their eighteen seventy five pennies for Poe project to

93
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 1: earn him a monument and a place at the front

94
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: of the cemetery. He lies near Virginia and her mother,

95
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: Maria Poe clem among heroes from the American Revolution and

96
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: the War of eighteen twelve. Outside of inspiring lovers of

97
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: the macabre, Poe's work has had a lasting effect on

98
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the literature and popular writing that followed him. The Guardian

99
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: lists Arthur Conan Doyle, Peter Straub, and Jules Verne among

100
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: those who were influenced by Poe, and states that he

101
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: quote signals the beginning of what would become a great

102
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Anglo American literary dialogue. The master of Celluloid's Spence, none

103
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: other than Alfred Hitchcock, has been quoted as stating, it's

104
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: because I liked Edgar Allan Poe's stories so much that

105
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: I began to make suspense films. But he was more

106
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: than a writer. According to Voss, Poe held the belief

107
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: that there was no puzzle that the human mind can

108
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: make that the human mind cannot then solve. He tried

109
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: to test that theory in The Purloined Letter by looking

110
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: at the operation of intellect and rationality. His was a

111
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: rational approach, even to something as carnal and visceral as revenge.

112
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: As Voss said, his stories still continue to fascinate. Also,

113
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: not many writers can boast a sports team being named

114
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: in honor of them, but Poe can. The Baltimore Ravens

115
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: NFL team owes its name to the hometown heroes most

116
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: famous poem, and fittingly, its mascot is named Poe. And

117
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: now this is where an episode would usually wrap up.

118
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: But please stay tuned headphones on if you've got them,

119
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: for a special three D presentation of Poe's poem The Raven.

120
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and

121
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: weary over many acquainting curious volume of Forgotten Law. While

122
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came tapping, as of

123
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: someone gently rapping, wrapping at my chamber door. To some visitor,

124
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: I muttered, tapping at my chamber door, Only this and

125
00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: nothing more. Distinctly, I remember it was in the bleak samber,

126
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: and each separate dying amber wrought its ghost upon the floor.

127
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Eagerly I wished to themorrow. Vainly I had sought to

128
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: borrow from my book secrease of sorrow, sorrow for the

129
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: lost Lenore, for the rare and radiant maiden whom the

130
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 1: angels named Lenore, nameless here forever more. And the silken, sad,

131
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: uncertain rustling of each purple curtain thrilled me, filled me

132
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: with fantastic terrors never felt before. So that now to

133
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: still the beating of my heart, I stood, repeating, tis

134
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: some visitor and treating entrance at my chamber door, some

135
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: late visitor, in treating entrance at my chamber door. This

136
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: it is, and nothing more. Presently my soul grew stronger,

137
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: hesitating than no longer, sir, said I, or madam, truly

138
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: your forgiveness, I implore. But the fact is I was napping,

139
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: and so gently you came rapping, and so ly you

140
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, that I scarce

141
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: was sure I heard you here. I opened wide the door.

142
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Darkness there, and nothing more. Deep into that darkness, peering long,

143
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams. No mortals

144
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: ever dared to dream before. But the silence was unbroken,

145
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: and the stillness gave no token. And the only word

146
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: they're spoken was the whispered word lenor this, I whispered,

147
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: and an echo murmured back the word merely this and

148
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: nothing more, back into the chamber, turning, Oh, my soul

149
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: within me burning Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat

150
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: louder than before. Surely, said I, surely that is something

151
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: at my window lattice. Let me see then what they're attics,

152
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: And this mystery explore, Let my heart be still a moment,

153
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: and this mystery explore tis the wind, and nothing more

154
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: open Here I flung the shutter, when with many a

155
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: flirt and flutter in their stepped a stately raven of

156
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: the saintly days of yore, not the least obesiance made

157
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: he not a minute stopped or stated he, but with

158
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: mien of Lord or lady, perched above my chamber door,

159
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: perched upon a bust of palace just above my chamber door,

160
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: perched and sat, and nothing more then this ebony bird

161
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: beguiling my sad fancy into smiling by the grave and

162
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: stern decorum of the countenance at war. Though thy crest

163
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: be shown and shaven, thou, I said, art show no craven, ghastly,

164
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore. Tell

165
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: me what thy lordly name is on the Knight's Plutonian shore.

166
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: Quote the raven never more much. I marveled this ungainly

167
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: fowl to hear discourse so plainly, though its answer little meaning,

168
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: little relevancy bore. For we cannot help agreeing that no

169
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: living human being ever yet was blessed with seeing bird

170
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: above his chamber door, bird or beast upon the sculptured

171
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: bust above his chamber door, with such name as never more.

172
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke

173
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: only that one word, as if his soul in that

174
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: one word he did outpour nothing farther than he uttered,

175
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: not a feather than he fluttered, till I scarcely more

176
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: than muttered other friends have flown before. On the morrow

177
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before. Then,

178
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: the bird said, never more. Startled at the stillness broken

179
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: by reply so aptly spoken, doubtless, said I what it

180
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: utters is its only stock and store caught from some

181
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: happy master, whom a merciful disaster followed fast, and followed

182
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: faster till his songs one burden bore till the dirges

183
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: of his hope, that melancholy burden bore of never never more.

184
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: But the raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling Straight,

185
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and

186
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: bust and door. Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook

187
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: myself to linking fancy and to fancy, thinking what this

188
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: ominous bird of Yore, Oh, what this grim, ungainly, ghastly,

189
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: gaunt and ominous bird of yore meant in croaking? Never more?

190
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing

191
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: to the foul, whose fiery eyes now burned into my

192
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: bosom's core. This and more I sat divining, with my

193
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: head at ease, reclining on the cushion's velvet, lining the

194
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the lamplike gloated. Or but whose velvet violet lining with

195
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the lamplike gloating, Or she shall press nevermore? Then methought,

196
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censor swung

197
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: by seraphim, whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor. Hrett

198
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: I cried, Thy God hath lent thee by these angels.

199
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: He hath sent thee rest spite, rest spite, and the

200
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: penthee from thy memories of Lunore quaf o quaff this

201
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of penthey, and forget this lost Ludore. Quote the

202
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Raven never more profit said, I thing of evil profits still,

203
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: If bird or devil, whether tempter sent, or whether tempest

204
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: tossed thee here ashore, desolate yet all undaunted on this

205
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: desert land, and shaunted on this home by horror, haunted,

206
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: Tell me truly, I implore. Is there is there balm

207
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: in Gilead, Tell me, tell me, I implore. Quote the

208
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: raven nevermore profit said, I think of evil profits still,

209
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: if bird or devil, by that heaven that bends above us,

210
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: by that god we both adore, Tell this soul was

211
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: sorrow lad, and if within the distant aid and it

212
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: shall clasp the sainted maiden whom the angel's name Lenore,

213
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angel's name Lenoir.

214
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Quote the raven nevermore be that word our sign of

215
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: parting bird of fiend, I shrieked up, starting get thee

216
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: back into the tempest and the night's plutonian shore. Leave

217
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: no black plume as a token of the lie thy

218
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: soul hath spoken, Leave my loneliness unbroken, Quit the bust

219
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: above my door, Take thy beacout from my heart, and

220
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: take thy form from off my door. Quote the raven nevermore,

221
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: and the raven never flitting still, is sitting still, is

222
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: sitting on that pallid bust of palace just above my

223
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: chamber door. And his eyes of all the seeming of

224
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: a demon's that is dreaming, and the lamplight or him

225
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: streaming throws his shadow on the floor, And my soul

226
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

227
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: shall be lifted nevermore. This episode was brought to you
