THE HAUNTED PALACE
BY E. A. POE, ESQ.

In the greenest of our valleys
By good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace —
Snow-white palace — reared its head.
In the monarch thought's dominion —
It stood there!

Never Seraph spread his pinion
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow —
This — all this — was in the olden
Time long ago —

And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the rampart plumed and pallid,
A winged odour went away.
All wanderers in that happy valley,

Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits moving musically
To a lute's well tuned law,
Round about a throne where sitting (Porphyrogene!)
In state his glory well befitting,

The sovereign of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door ;
Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing,
And sparkling evermore,

A troop of echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing
In voices of surpassing beauty,
The wit and wisdom of their king.
But evil things in robes of sorrow,
Assailed the monarch's high estate!

Ah, let us mourn — for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desolate!
And round about his home the glory,
That blushed and bloomed,
Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.

And travelers now within that valley,
Through the red-litten windows, see
Vast forms that move fantastically
To a discordant melody;

While, like a rapid ghastly river,
Through the pale door;
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh — but smile no more.<

Said as I owe for car insurance, charge card, and a few hundred in tuition...

[ilovew]

Yeah, she's...intimidating. I wouldn't wanna argue with her. I did, however, argue with one of the analysts yesterday. He was irritating me.

[snugs]

Thanks for the ping - sorry am late to the party but fell asleep after doing my evening chores then got tied up on the dose.

[ilovew]

I have to get up at 7:00 for work. When I was taking classes, I never signed up for one that started before 10:00. *sigh* I've never been a morning person.

[snugs]

That is Saturday night is it not? I though America did it a week later from what I remember the last few years or are you doing it this weekend the same as us?

[rzeznikj at stout]

On the weekends I work 6-10am. Tomorrow, I have off from 10-2 (work other job 2-9). Sunday, I leave job 1 at 10 and go to job 2 at 11.

Takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to get there. Probably will eat lunch and read the next cycle of Theology of the Body...

Not as bad as T and Th, where I have to get up at 4--work 5-8 and then go to class.

[snugs]

Mine started at 1.30pm when I finish work on a Friday. It can be struggle to get there early Monday - Thursday or work late if not get in early but I love being free from 1.30pm it makes up for a lot of other things.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Neither have I...;)

[darkangel82]

Neither have I. Most of my college classes were from 9:30 to around 4.

[snugs]

In Britain traditionally Bonfire Night is bigger than Halloween but of recent times we seem to celebrate both or mix the 2 up.

[rzeznikj at stout]

'Tis true though...

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

7am wake up time is like Saturday morning sleep in.

[ilovew]

Wow...that's rough. I couldn't ever get up at 4:00. I have enough trouble getting enough sleep when I wake up at 7:00. It used to be 6:30 but I decided breakfast wasn't that important :P

[ilovew]

Last semester, I had a great schedule. MWF my first class was at 10:00 and T/Th my first class was at 11:00. That was really nice.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Same here.

This year, have night courses.

Last spring, had a five-weeker that started at 8am.

[ilovew]

What's Bonfire Night?

[ilovew]

Really? Saturday and Sunday, I sleep until 10:30. Our dining hall is open until 11:00 for brunch so I wake up in time to eat and then come back to my room and try to do something productive.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Yeah, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

I'm tired as he!!, but what can ya do?

[snugs]

Traditional bonfire food in Britain.

Jacket potatoes done in the oven not microwave all crispy and smothered in butter, salt and pepper.

Hot British sausages (links) with fried onions and mash potato. Sausage rolls, you can use the meat from the link sausages to make these or in Britain one can either buy them ready made or you can buy just sausage meat which is easier to roll out.

Sausage rolls in case one is not familar with them are short crust pastry (like you would use for chicken pie) covering sausage meat baked in the oven like you would any type of pie until cooked and golden brown. They are great hot or cold.
As tastes change in Britain quite a lot of people would also have BBQ type food or Chilli and of course the great British favourite curry.

On the sweet side traditionally treacle toffee with lemonade powder or apples covered with treacle toffee. I will see if I can find a treacle toffee recipe.

[snugs]

That sounds like a friend on mine LOL
