sorry for all the depressing stuff lately, I’m just trying to deal with things

Irene - “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe

I was a child and she was a child,

  In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love—

  I and my Annabel Lee

Seulgi - “Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines” by Pablo Neruda

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms

I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

Wendy - “Eurydice” by H.D.

so for your arrogance

I am broken at last,

I who had lived unconscious,

who was almost forgot

Joy - “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” by Dylan Thomas

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Yeri - “Pretty” by Stevie Smith

Cry pretty, pretty, pretty and you’ll be able   

Very soon not even to cry pretty

And so be delivered entirely from humanity   

This is prettiest of all, it is very pretty.

really wish my brain would actually let me be happy for once

Best of Poe Party (32/?)

Put that down. Month.

i bought ‘the fall of the house of usher and other writings’ by edgar allan poe from a second hand bookshop and the spine is cracked right where the poem 'annabel lee’ is

⬛ heavens this is an old project I made a while back for my sister’s beloved freshman class. they were covering the obligatory poe section of their poetry unit and she wanted some way to engage them. thus, i was flattered into helping because i’m a sucker
