00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:08.359
One of my favorite memories of scaring
myself as a child was getting a compilation
2
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:16.760
book of Edgar Allan Poe stories from
my elementary school library. It brought me
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:25.359
so much fear and so much excitement. I remember running home from school with
4
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:33.359
that book in my backpack as the
sky was dark and a storm was coming.
5
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.960
I was in my childhood living room, but I wasn't alone. I
6
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:48.000
had a pizza and the books of
Poe. Every so often I'll bring you
7
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:55.159
a tale of Poe, and I
hope it gives you that scary fun sense,
8
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:02.119
just the same as it does for
me. When the clock strikes midnight,
9
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:46.680
the story will begin to her whose
name is written below by Edgar Allan
10
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:53.719
Poe. For her these lines are
penned, whose luminous eyes, bright and
11
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.400
expressive as the stars of Leda,
shall find her own sweet name that testing
12
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.640
lies upon this page, en rapped
from every reader. Search narrowly these words,
13
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.360
which hold a treasure, divine,
a talisman, an amulet that must
14
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:19.479
be worn at heart. Search well
the measure the words, the letters themselves.
15
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.080
Do not forget the smallest point,
or you may lose your labor.
16
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:30.080
And yet there is in this no
Gordian knot, which one might not undo
17
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:36.400
without a saber, if one could
merely comprehend the plot upon the open page
18
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:42.360
on which are peering such sweet eyes. Now there lies, I say,
19
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:47.719
perdue, a musical name oft uttered
in the hearing of poets by poets,
20
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.439
for the name is a poet's too. In common sequence, set the letters
21
00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:00.039
lying compose a sound delighting all to
hear. Ah this you'd have no trouble
22
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.520
in decrying, were you not something
of a dunce, my dear. And
23
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.479
now I leave these riddles too their
seer
