Still ]is sitting on the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door.
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming casts his shadow on the floor.
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor,
Ahall be lifted - nevermore!
