The apprentice week four " The night before Halloween"



And the raven, never flitting,
still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas
just above my chamber door.............
Nevermore





While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.


For the rare and radiant maiden
whom the angels name Lenore -



And the silken sad uncertain rustling
of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic
terrors never felt before.

Edgar Allan Poe
