Edgar Allan Poe: Cytaty po angielsku
"Dreamland", st. 1 (1845).
Kontekst: By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule —
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of SPACE — out of TIME.
“I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —”
" Alone http://gothlupin.tripod.com/valone.html", l. 1-8 (written 1829, published 1875). <br class="br">Kontekst: From childhood's hour I have not been<br>As others were — I have not seen<br>As others saw — I could not bring<br>My passions from a common spring —<br>From the same source I have not taken<br>My sorrow — I could not awaken<br>My heart to joy at the same tone —<br>And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone
