theladyrosePeople never tell me very interesting things about writers. Apparently Edgar Allan Poe was a pedophile. And nobody tells me why?
But I love his poetry anyway.
Evening Star
'Twas noontide of summer,
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro' the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile;
Too cold- too cold for me-
There pass'd, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned away to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar,
And dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.
I almost wish that I managed to subconciously keep my pseudo British-American accent that I had when I was little. It was kind of cool, actually; I sounded vaguely Canadian after awhile.
