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.<

Hi Dolly! Yeah, I'm hoping to. I won't get many trick-or-treater's where I live.

They picked beans by the house last night, so they deer may be scared away for awhile too! LOL

OTOH, why you'd need it in a polisci environment--you got me there.

When your major is Poli Sci the assumption is that you are going to continue on into Law School therefore it is a recommended class.

[rzeznikj at stout]

IIRC, it depends on how the curriculum is set up.

At my campus, there's a pre-law option--and that's required for the option. As far as I can tell with regard to the other options, such a class is optional...

[rzeznikj at stout]

Ah, no...

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Yes, I went Pre-Law at Rutgers and had to take Con Law, however, at Rutgers it was strongly recommended because they wanted to funnel you right into their Law School.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Just read your Home Page, I wish you luck in Law School, I just hope that you get a better Con Law teacher then I had, She made the teacher from Ferris Beuller look like a ball of fire.

Okay, enough time has passed for you to know the end result. How did GF take to the fun plans (spreading stone) you had?

True test!

1) did she smile & help,
2)leave & tell you to call her when you had time for a "real date" or
3) just leave as she gave you a dirty look?

None of the above...it began to rain again! But if it hadn't #1 would have been her reaction with the proviso that I take her to a more upscale restaurant than we originally planned on. Which is fine with me because that would've meant her going home and preparing herself in a nice dress, which she knows I adore seeing her in, (she looks like a veritable princess, not that she doesn't in jeans or casual clothes...you, being a woman, know what I mean).
And just to clarify, she knows I'd never allow her to do the hard tasks, I just like having her near. If though, I really had to get the stones spread at that time she would've came out with me...and knowing full well I'd get the umbrella out of the Jeep for her.

P.S.

The only time I get the "dirty look" is when I, out of (bad) habit, take out my Skoal and dip when we're in places I probably shouldn't be doing that.

P.S.S.

I'm from the Buckeye state myself. But I bet on Michigan in this year's game vs. Ohio State. (I know, if I was standing beside you I'd get whacked upside the head!)

I've got an Issues of Politics professor who I swear is stoned...

Stuned? not really...
