A graceful and dégagé manner.

This ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling.

He grasped my hand with a nervous empressement.

Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door.

Seraphim, whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.

Each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

Quaff, O quaff this kind nepenthe.

Deep′ in|to′ the | dark′ness | peer′ing, | long′ I | stood′ there | wond'′ring, | fear′ing.

Its answer little meaning, little relevancy bore.

What a tale of terror now its turbulency tells!
