“The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.”

Being Poe, this one borders on unhealthy obsession (plus, Annabel is, well, dead), but the cadence has always haunted me, sounding like the waves rolling onto the shore.
#HalloweenPoetryMatters #Day11 #Ghost A lot of Poe‘s poems are about death, spirits & angels. I highly recommend the album Closed On Account Of Rabies where people like Iggy Pop, Christopher Walken, Marianne Faithful(who reads the above poem)& the best, Jeff Buckley reading Ulalume. With music & sound effects, it‘s gothic, creepy & chilling. And on Spotify or YouTube I believe! #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts

#OnThisDay in 1802 a brother and sister stepped out for a walk. Sounds unremarkable, I know. But those siblings were William and Dorothy Wordsworth, and their walk that day by Ullswater inspired the words:
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
