Listen to the Richard Burton version, he does it better. a dramatic reading is better than a mere emotionless reading. This poem is meant to be horrific and scary, not a shopping list.
Edgar Allan Poe never wrote "The Raven," he merely claimed authorship in a kind of 19th-century "identity theft." The poem's premiere was submitted anonymously to "American Review" under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" by the true author, Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, a literary critic for the NY "Evening Mirror," seeing the poem in an advance copy of "American Review," scooped Mathew in his own paper by a couple of days. Mathew must have shared a copy of "The Raven" with Poe in 1842, so Poe had a handwritten copy. This enabled him to convince his editor that he had permission to scoop "American Review"--but he mysteriously left the "Mirror" shortly afterwards (suggesting that he may have been fired for lying about it). It is absurd that any editor of a newly-launched monthly literary magazine like the "Review," would have given a daily newspaper this permission. The real author was unable to reveal his identity and hence could not publicly defend himself. My paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," is downloadable at the following link. It can also be found by that title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven.pdf
About 14 years ago, the museum ran out of working capital and the sole owner Dick Horne (who had stopped working with cofounder James Taylor) just wanted to retire. Good news...a similar place is opening down the road in Havre de Grace this summer.
The occasion was a public funeral for Poe that he never had. RU-vid has many videos of the event. Simply put Poe Funeral Baltimore and enjoy all the videos.
You're half right here. Duchamp did the original LHOOQ, Dali did a photoedit of his own face on Mona Lisa afterwards and said in an interview that he preferred the original...by Duchamp. But Dali and Duchamp were both involved with Hugo Ball and all the other Dadaists some time before surrealism was a thing.
Golden Arrow...I had another song under the slideshow but I didn't have the rights so RU-vid suggested some others. I think that a lot of people picked this one.

What kind of neighborhood is this in? My girlfriend and I are thinking about going this year, but the neighborhood on a map doesn't look like the nicest place to be.
It's in someone's front yard in Springfield, PA (Delaware County). The thing's staring out at an ordinary leafy street down the road from a Home Depot and a Red Lobster on Baltimore Pike.
Mt holly nj. Go down high street make a left at the end of the road. Go past the seven 11 and eventually the road ends. Make a left and it will turn into dirt road with hand made signs entering the woods and a bunch of warnings to turn around. You've arrived. You need an okay off-road vehicle. I did it in a 89 camaro
My mom told me stories about Black Aggie when I was a kid. She said that you should always bring her a rose when you see you, so that she doesn't curse you. I would love to see the statue in person. The pictures probably don't do it justice.
what i saw as a kid at age 11 or 12 was a goat like head with human like features and it was about 5ft tall. I saw it in broad daylight. It changed my life forever. These things are no joke it caused me to have anxiety the rest of my life im now 34
