Assignments: Students will be expected to participate in all classroom activities, including reading,
writing, class discussions, in-class assignments, oral presentations, peer evaluations, and small
group learning. Students should expect regular homework, which includes reading and writing
assignments. Formal papers will follow the MLA (Modern Language Association) format.

Attendance: Students are expected to be in class on time and in their seat, prepared for learning when
the bell rings. Students will be held accountable to the attendance and tardy policies of Temescal
Canyon High School.

Makeup work will be given for excused absences only. If a student is absent he/she has three days to
make up the assignment he/she has missed. Papers must be labeled “absent” to receive full credit. If
an assignment was assigned before the absence occurred, it is due upon the day of return. Students are
responsible for obtaining makeup work and arranging time to make up tests and quizzes during
seminar study hour. Extended absences require an independent study contract from the office.

Grading: Letter grades for individual assignments will be based on how carefully the student
completes the assignment’s requirements. Grades will be updated on Fridays and posted on the
classroom door as well as online; each student is responsible for keeping track of his/her progress.
On any assignment, the grading scale is as follows: 100 -90% = A, 89 -80% = B, 79 -70% = C,
69 - 60% = D, 59 - 0% = F

Late Work: Late work is not accepted. Due dates are created well in advance and can be tracked at
remind.com or using google classroom. Students will be given plenty of time to complete
assignments. On some occasions I will give students up to one week to redo/ rewrite an assignment
to show improvement if the assignment has been be whole-heartedly attempted the first time.
Students will be given a one-day grace pass for ONE late assignment per quarter (10% off).

Extra Credit: Will be given often to students who have completed regular work for the purpose of
building on and enriching the skills mastered in the regular curriculum.

Plagiarism: Cheating is a serious offense and will be severely punished. First offense will result in
a referral, while a second offence will result in removal from the course with a withdraw/fail.

Classroom Behavior Expectations:


Members of the class are expected to treat one another with respect. Rude or disruptive behavior
will not be tolerated and will result in referral and possible removal from the course with loss of
credit.

Film Viewing Permission


Dear Parents/Guardians,

As part of the instructional process we occasionally use video or film to complement a


specific aspect of literary study. In many instances only a clip from the film is shown. A complete
listing of the curricular connections for each title is available upon request. Because some of the
titles carry a rating or PG 13 or R your permission is needed before your student may view the
video.
All movies with a PG-13 and/or R rating are fully edited to remove mature content
where necessary.

An alternative assignment, to be completed in the library, will be available to those students


who are unable to participate in the video lessons. Please circle any film titles that you DO NOT
wish your student to view.

Developing a Thesis (50 EC)
Definition: A thesis statement connects the MAIN IDEA of the writing prompt with your central
ARGUMENT of your paper as an introduction to its content and evidence.
Theme: PURPOSE
Reason: The Thesis gives your paper a real PURPOSE and directs the reader towards the supporting details
in subsequent paragraphs.
What NOT to Do: When the writer merely restates the question as a complete sentence, it offers no new
information about your paper.
1. Sample Prompt: “What two societal themes are inherent in Shakespeare’s portrayal of 16th
century Venice? Consider character motivations, Christian motifs, and poetic syntax in your
analysis.”

2. Poor Thesis: “Shakespeare used societal themes in his portrayal of 16th century Venice and
used character motivations, Christian motifs, and poetic syntax to accomplish it.”

3. Why? It tells me nothing new about your paper. It is simply a restatement of the prompt

4. Advice: BE SPECIFIC. Summarize the character motivations (maybe narrowing down to


Antonio’s prejudices or Shylock’s greed), List 1 Christian motif (the difference between justice
and mercy) and focus on one literary device (such as the use of iambic pentameter for noble
characters).

Strong Thesis: “Shakespeare develops a commentary on religious and minority cultural conflicts through his
development of Shylock’s betrayal and greed, the dichotomy of justice and mercy, and the selective use of
iambic pentameter to denote class distinctions.”

Instructor Global Comments


1. MLA Format error (citations, formatting, spacing)

2. Sources are missing. Any assertions, evidence or statistics without reference are not correct.

3. Thesis statement is underdeveloped or missing. Every intro paragraph should include a


summary argument that ties the prompt, the evidence, and your position together in 1-3
sentences.

4. Transitional topic sentence need to be evident. Often, students respond to the parts of a
prompt as if in conversation with the instructor. This creates an overall lack of unity in your
essay. Transitions should occur between paragraphs to develop your argument and tie your
paper together.

5. Lacking supporting evidence or counter arguments. Each body paragraph should develop
strong, fact-based approaches to a position. Drop any unnecessary opinions, persuasive
language, or logical fallacies that are not grounded in a cited source.

6. Grammar/Syntax is wrong. Several students are using punctuation incorrectly. Read


sentence out-loud (with appropriate pauses where punctuation occurs) to get a better feel for
proper syntax.

7. Your Say, Mean, Matter technique is underdeveloped. Even if you have evidence, you still
need to bring it back to answering the prompt and clearly supporting your thesis throughout
your writing.

8. Is your statement/paragraph supporting your thesis? Many students started out supporting a
position, only to abandon it half-way through and begin arguing for another position. How
do you reconcile complex views about a topic while still maintaining focus, consistency and
clarity? Do counter-arguments have to change your view half way through your writing, or
can you refute them? If so, how?

9. Fix your Works Cited. It should follow proper MLA conventions found here:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/05/

10. avoid summary.

11. Embed your quote within a transition

12. What is the allusion origin?

Houseplants for Allergies (From gardeningknowhow.com):
Once you realize that having plants in your home can actually be a good thing,
the question remains: Which houseplants relieve allergies the best? NASA

It was a pleasure to burn.


It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With
the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the
world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor
playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of
history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange
flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a
gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He strode in a swarm of
fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the
furnace, while the flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house.
While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew away on a wind turned dark with burning.

Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame. He knew that
when he returned to the firehouse, he might wink at himself, a minstrel man, burnt-corked, in the
mirror. Later, going to sleep, he would feel the fiery smile still gripped by his face muscles, in
the dark. It never went away, that smile, it never ever went away, as long as he remembered.

He hung up his black beetle-colored helmet and shined it; he hung his flameproof jacket
neatly; he showered luxuriously, and then, whistling, hands in pockets, walked across the upper
floor of the fire station and fell down the hole. At the last moment, when disaster seemed
positive, he pulled his hands from his pockets and broke his fall by grasping the golden pole. He
slid to a squeaking halt, the heels one inch from the concrete floor downstairs.

Whistling, he let the escalator waft him into the still night air. He walked toward the
corner, thinking little at all about nothing in particular. Before he reached the corner, however,
he slowed as if a wind had sprung up from nowhere, as if someone had called his name….

Life-Hack: Passing Psych Evaluations


Scenario:

A co-worker is constantly disagreeing with you and trying to make you look bad. Currently, he has worked
here less than you, and is younger. However, he is better educated than you and is also considered a fast
learner. You know from a third party that he is interested in taking over some of your responsibilities.

A. You wait to see how things develop; at the moment this information is merely hearsay.
B. You call your co-worker in for a talk. You explain that cooperation is an essential feature of any workplace
and tell him you believe both of you can learn from one another. If he refuses to understand you take more
serious steps.
C. You do not want to take any chances with such issues. You report the matter to your supervisor and advise him
to consider replacing your co-worker.
D. Since you do not want to make a "big deal" out of the issue, you ask a third party to intimate to your co-
worker that his behavior is unacceptable.

Dover Beach Poetry Analysis
Matthew Arnold

The sea is calm tonight.


The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.

Sophocles long ago


Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

The Sea of Faith


Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

F451 Part 3 Analysis


“And hold on to one thought: You're not important. You're not anything.
Someday the load we're carrying with us may help someone. But even
when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn't use what we
got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on
spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us. We're going
to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the
next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're
remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And someday
we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddam steam-shovel
in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover
it up. Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror-factory first and put
out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them.”

1. Analyze for DIDST in a paragraph. How is the plan for a new society going to be different than the one
that was destroyed?

EQUILIBRIUM
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (100 Pts.)

1.When Preston mentions the word “friend” to the female sense offender in the interrogation room, she says:
“I’m wondering if you have any idea what that word means…Friends!” know what the word means.”
Later in the conversation, she asks:
“Why are you alive?”
A. What do these questions say about what Preston has been “missing” while on his daily Prozium dose?
B. What do we have in our world today that “numbs” us in the way Prozium numbs the inhabitants of
EQUILIBRIUM?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

2.Later in the conversation, she tells him…


“To feel is as vital as to breathe.”
To what extent is this true for you? Would you rather society be at peace if it meant no one can feel neither
elation or depression, just pure logic?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
3.At 31:30 in the film, Preston stares at his dose for what seems like a very long time. What was going through
his mind in this scene? What are the dilemmas that are “dancing” in his head?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
4.This movie communicates much of what is going on in Preston’s thought processes through his dreams and
“flashbacks.” When he awakes from one of these dreams, he peels back the covering of the glass. What is the
significance of this action?
___________________________________________________________________________

5. As Preston “withdraws” from his daily dose of Prozium, his mannerisms change significantly. Discuss the
significance of the following (and others) that stood out to you:

A. What other evidence is there of an awakening of his senses?


B. What evidence is there of the awakening of his emotions?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

6. In his meeting with “Father’s” representative (45:10), Preston asks:


“Sir, without the logic of process, is it not just mayhem? What we have worked so hard to eradicate?”
What does this reveal about Equilibrium as a dystopic society?________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

7. He is told:
“You must understand, Preston…that while you and even I might not always agree with it, it is not the
message that is important. It is our obedience to it. Father’s will…call it FAITH! You have it, I assume?”
What is the film’s definition of “faith”? Is having “faith” in a higher system (government, religion, family)
unethical? Why or why not? What might it depend on?

the wife of the noble; yet this is the shepherd of the city, wise,
comely, and resolute.

4. The gods heard their lament, the gods in heaven cried to the Lord of Uruk, to Anu the god of Uruk: 'A goddess
made him, strong as a savage bull, none can withstand his arms. No son is left with his father, for Gilgamesh
takes them all; and is this the king, the shepherd of his people? His lust leaves no virgin to her lover, neither the
warrior's daughter nor the wife of the noble.' When Anu had heard their lamentation the gods cried to Aruru, the
goddess of creation, 'You made him, O Aruru, now create his equal; let it be as like him as his own reflection,
his second self, stormy heart for stormy heart. Let them contend together and leave Uruk in quiet.'

5. So the goddess conceived an image in her mind, and it was of the stuff of Anu of the firmament. She dipped her
hands in water and pinched off clay, she let it fall in the wilderness, and noble Enkidu was created. There was
virtue in him of the god of war, of Ninurta himself. His body was rough, he had long hair like a woman's; it
waved like the hair of Nisaba, the goddess of the corn. His body was covered with matted hair like Samuquan's,
the god of cattle.

6. In Uruk the bridal bed was made, fit for the goddess of love. The bride waited for the bridegroom, but in the
night Gilgamesh got up and came to the house. Then Enkidu stepped out, he stood in the street and blocked the
49
Name:___________________Date:______ Pg. 50

way. Mighty Gilgamesh came on and Enkidu met him at the gate. He put out his foot and prevented Gilgamesh
from entering the house, so they grappled, holding each other like bulls. They broke the doorposts and the walls
shook, they snorted like bulls locked together. They shattered the doorposts and the walls shook. Gilgamesh

7. bent his knee with his foot planted on the ground and with a turn Enkidu was thrown. Then immediately his fury
died. When Enkidu was thrown he said to Gilgamesh, 'There is not another like you in the world. Ninsun, who
is as strong as a wild ox in the byre, she was the mother who bore you, and now you are raised above all men,
and Enlil has given you the kingship, for your strength surpasses the strength of men.' So Enkidu and Gilgamesh
embraced and their friendship was sealed.

8. [Gilgamesh and Enkidu become great friends. Together they set out on a long journey to the Cedar Forest in the
North. They slay a fire-breathing monster called Humbaba who is the guardian of the forest. After their return,
Ishtar, the goddess of love, becomes infatuated with Gilgamesh and offers to marry him. Gilgamesh, citing
Ishtar's fickle nature in matters of love, refuses. Ishtar becomes incensed.]

9. Ishtar opened her mouth and said again, 'My father, give me the Bull of Heaven to destroy Gilgamesh. Fill
Gilgamesh, I say, with arrogance to his destruction; but if you refuse to give me the Bull of Heaven I will break
in the doors of hell and smash the bolts; there will be confusion of people, those above with those from the lower
depths. I shall bring up the dead to eat food like the living; and the hosts of dead will outnumber the living'....

10. When Anu heard what Ishtar had said he gave her the Bull of Heaven to lead by the halter down to Uruk. When
they reached the gates of Uruk the Bull went to the river; with his first snort cracks opened in the earth and a
hundred young men fell down to death. With his second snort cracks opened and two hundred fell down to
death.

11. With his third snort cracks opened, Enkidu doubled over but instantly recovered, he dodged aside and leapt on
the Bull and seized it by the horns. The Bull of Heaven foamed in his face, it brushed him with the thick of its
tail. Enkidu cried to Gilgamesh, 'My friend, we boasted that we would leave enduring names behind us. Now
thrust the sword between the nape and the horns.' So Gilgamesh followed the Bull, he seized the thick of its tail,
he thrust the sword between the nape and the horns and slew the Bull. When they had killed the Bull of Heaven
they cut out its heart and gave it to Shamash, and the brothers rested.

12. [The death of the Bull of Heaven offends the gods. As compensation, they decree that one of the two heroes
must die. After a ominous dream, Enkidu passes away. Gilgamesh greatly mourns for his friend and for the fate
of all mortal men. He decides to seek the secret of immortality from Utnapishtim, the Mesopotamian Noah to
whom the gods granted everlasting life.]

13. Bitterly Gilgamesh wept for his friend Enkidu; he wandered over the wilderness as a hunter, he roamed over the
plains; in his bitterness he cried, 'How can I rest, how can I be at peace? Despair is in my heart. What my brother
is now, that shall I be when I am dead. Because I am afraid of death I will go as best I can to find Utnapishtim
whom they call the Faraway, for he has entered the assembly of the gods.' So Gilgamesh traveled over the
wilderness, he wandered over the grasslands, a long journey, in search of Utnapishtim, whom the gods took after
the deluge; and they set him to live in the land of Dilmun, in the garden of the sun; and to him alone of men they
gave everlasting life.
14. [Gilgamesh then encounters Siduri, "the woman of the vine, the maker of wine." She offers him sage advice
concerning his quest.]

50
Name:___________________Date:______Pg. 51

15. She answered, 'Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that life for which you are looking.
When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you,
Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice.
Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your
wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man.'

16. [After an arduous journey, Gilgamesh finds Utnapishtim. Utnapishtim tells the hero the story of the flood:
mankind's incessant activity had disturbed the rest of the gods, who thus decided to destroy the humans by
flooding the earth. Ea, the god of the waters, warned Utnapishtim of the coming deluge. By building a strong
ship, Utnapishtim and his family survive. The gods then repented of their action and granted immortality to the
survivor. Utnapishtim also reveals another important secret to Gilgamesh.]

17. 'Gilgamesh, I shall reveal a secret thing, it is a mystery of the gods that I am telling you. There is a plant that
grows under the water, it has a prickle like a thorn, like a rose; it will wound your hands, but if you succeed in
taking it, then your hands will hold that which restores his lost youth to a man.'

18. When Gilgamesh heard this he opened the sluices so that a sweet-water current might carry him out to the
deepest channel; he tied heavy stones to his feet and they dragged him down to the water-bed. There he saw the
plant growing; although it pricked him he took it in his hands; then he cut the heavy stones from his feet, and the
sea carried him and threw him on to the shore. Gilgamesh said to Urshanabi the ferryman, 'Come here, and see
the marvelous plant. By its virtue a man may win back all his former strength. I will take it to Uruk of the strong
walls; there I will give it to the old men to eat. Its name shall be "The Old Men Are Young Again"; and at last I
shall eat it myself and have back all my lost youth.' So Gilgamesh returned by the gate through which he had
come, Gilgamesh and Urshanabi went together. They traveled their twenty leagues and then they broke their fast;
after thirty leagues they stopped for the night.

19. Gilgamesh saw a well of cool water and he went down and bathed; but deep in the pool there was lying a
serpent, and the serpent sensed the sweetness of the flower. It rose out of the water and snatched it away, and
immediately it sloughed its skin and returned to the well. Then Gilgamesh sat down and wept, the tears ran down
his face, and he took the hand of Urshanabi; 'O Urshanabi, was it for this that I toiled with my hands, is it for this
I have wrung out my heart's blood? For myself I have gained nothing; not I, but the beast of the earth has joy of
it now. Already the stream has carried it twenty leagues back to the channels where I found it. I found a sign and
now I have lost it. Let us leave the boat on the bank and go.'

20. The destiny was fulfilled which the father of the gods, Enlil of the mountain, had decreed for Gilgamesh: 'In
nether-earth the darkness will show him a light: of mankind, all that are known, none will leave a monument for
generations to come to compare with his. The heroes, the wise men, like the new moon have their waxing and
waning. Men will say, "Who has ever ruled with might and with power like him?" As in the dark month, the
month of shadows, so without him there is no light. O Gilgamesh, this was the meaning of your dream. You
were given the kingship, such was your destiny, everlasting life was not your destiny. Because of this do not be
sad at heart, do not be grieved or oppressed; he has given you power to bid and to loose, to be the darkness and
the light of mankind. He has given unexampled supremacy over the people, victory in battle from which no
fugitive returns, in forays and assaults from which there is no going back. But do not abuse this power, deal
justly with your servants in the palace, deal justly before the face of the Sun.'

The Story of Rama and Sita

This is the story of Prince Rama and his wife Sita.

Prince Rama was the son of a great King, and was expected to become King himself one day. However his
stepmother wanted her own son to become King, and tricked her husband into banishing Rama and his wife Sita
to live in the forest.

But this was no ordinary forest. This was the forest where demons lived, including Demon King Ravana. Ravana
had twenty arms and ten heads. There were two eyes on each head and a row of sharp yellow teeth. When
Ravana saw Sita he wanted her for himself and so decided to kidnap her.

Ravana placed a beautiful deer into the forest. When Sita saw the deer she asked Rama if he could capture
it for her so they could have it as a pet.

However when Rama was out of sight Ravana came swooping down in a chariot pulled by flying
monsters and flew off with Sita.

Sita, although afraid, was also clever. Being a princess she wore lots of jewellery and she dropped her jewels,
piece by piece onto the ground to leave a trail for Rama.

Sure enough Rama, realising he had been tricked, discovered the trail, and also came upon his friend Hanuman,
King of the Monkeys. Hanuman promised Rama he and all the monkeys would help Rama to find Sita and they
searched the world looking for her.

Eventually a monkey located Sita on a dark, isolated island, surrounded by rocks and stormy seas. Hanuman
flew to Sita to make sure it really was her. She gave him her last precious pearl to give to Rama and prove it
really was her and she had been found.

The monkeys helped Rama for a second time by throwing stones


and rocks into the sea until they had built a great bridge to the
island.

Rama and his faithful army battled with the demons until they
were victorious.

Finally Rama took his wonderful bow and arrow, specially made to
defeat all evil demons, and shot Ravana through the heart, killing
him.

There were huge celebrations when Rama and Sita returned to


the kingdom. Everyone placed a light in their windows and
doorways to show that the light of truth and goodness had
defeated the darkness of evil and trickery.

light/dark symbolism, choruses). In a five paragraph essay, analyze how the tension between fate and free-will of
the protagonist is expressed in The Illiad or Oedipus Rex. Identify and explain two reoccurring motifs and two
literary devices in your explanation. Compare similar motifs and literary devices found in Minority Report and
show how the film draws on Greek philosophy. As you conclude, argue the extent to which fate (or free-will)
does or does not exist scientifically using 1 peer-reviewed source.

The Raven – Edgar Allan Poe Annotations (per stanza)


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 1. Highlight 3 mood words
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— 2. Underline 3 alliteration.
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 3. Circle 3 internal rhyme
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
4. Identify rhyme scheme
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
5. Draw a symbol for each stanza

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;


And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost
Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
“’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—
This it is and nothing more.”

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,


“Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the
door;—
Darkness there and nothing more.

73
Name:___________________Date:______ Pg. 74
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,
fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream
before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word,
“Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word,
“Lenore!”—
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,


Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
“Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
’Tis the wind and nothing more!”

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and
flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or
stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber
door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,


By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no
craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly
shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,


Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as “Nevermore.”

But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he
fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown
before—
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”
Then the bird said “Nevermore.”

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,


“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden
bore—
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of ‘Never—nevermore’.

74

But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,


Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and
door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking “Nevermore.
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er,
But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an


unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
“Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he
hath sent thee
Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—


Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here
ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—
Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!


By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both
adore—
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked,


upstarting—
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath
spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
door!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting


On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is
dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on
the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!
