00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.400
One of my favorite memories of scaring myself as a

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:11.080
child was getting a compilation book of Edgar Allan Poe's

3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:17.719
stories from my elementary school library. It brought me so

4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:24.519
much fear and so much excitement. I remember running home

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.239
from school with that book in my backpack as the

6
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.759
sky was dark and a storm was coming. I was

7
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:40.039
in my childhood living room, but I wasn't alone. I

8
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:46.159
had a pizza and the books of Poe. Every so

9
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.840
often I'll bring you a tale of Poe, and I

10
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:56.520
hope it gives you that scary fun sense, just the

11
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.159
same as it does for me. When the clock strikes midnight,

12
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:43.719
the story will begin. A dream within a dream by

13
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.519
Edgar Allan Poe. Take this kiss upon thy brow, and

14
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.799
imparting from you now thus much, let me avow you

15
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.439
are not wrong who deem that my days have been

16
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.359
a dream. Yet, if hope has flown away in a night,

17
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.599
or in a day, in a vision, or in none,

18
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.240
is it therefore the less gone. All that we see

19
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.280
or seem is but a dream within a dream. I

20
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.639
stand amid the roar of a surf tormented shore, and

21
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.000
I hold within my hand grains of the golden sand.

22
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:36.360
How few yet, how they creep through my fingers to

23
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:42.520
the deep while I weep, While I weep, Oh God,

24
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:48.680
can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp? Oh God,

25
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.840
can I not save one from the pitiless wave? Is

26
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:59.719
all that we see or seem but a dream within

27
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:00.360
a dream
