My nearest book is selectd Tales of Edgar allen poe (it's for english class)
p55 is from the story "the fall of the house of usher
"for several days ensuing, her name was unmentioned by either Usher or myself: and during this period I busied in earnest endevours to alleviate the melancholy of my friend. We painted and read together; or i listened, as in a dream, to the wild improvisations of his speaking guitar. And thus, as a closer and still closer intimacy admited me more unreservedly into the recesses of his spirit, the more bitterly did i percieve the futility of all attempt at cheering a ming from which darkness, as if an inherent positive quality, pored forth upon all objects of the moral and physical universe, in one unceasing radiation of gloom.
I Shall bear about me a memory of the many solemn hours i thus spent alone in the House of Usher. Yet i should fail in any attempt to convey an idea of the exact charachter of the studies, or of the occupations, in which he involved me, or led me away. An excited and highly distempered ideality threw a sulphureous lustre over all. His long improvised dirges will ring forever in my ears. Among other things, I hold painfully in mind a certain singular perversion and amplification of the wild air of the last waltz of Von Weber."
i don't get most of it either.. and DAMN does he write long sentances
i won't tag you as i am lazy.
