Unit 1: Selection Vocabulary 4

You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what foresight, with what dissimulation, I went to work!

And this I did for seven long nights, every night just at midnight, but I found the eye always closed, and so it was impossible to do the work, for it was not the old man who vexed me but his Evil Eye.

Never before that night had I felt the extent of my own powers, of my sagacity.

“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed! —tear up the planks! —here, here! —it is the beating of his hideous heart!”

But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

With a love that the wingèd seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

How they ring out their delight!—
From the molten -golden notes

And all in tune,
What a liquid ditty floats

Oh, from out the sounding cells,
What a gush of euphony voluminously wells!
