Setanta, we're straying off-topic, but I'm about to test your knowledge of Poe. Can you name the only work he authored that was re-printed during his life?
color me clueless, Boss, i'm no expert, simply a fan of his writing . . .
Oops, hey, give me a break? I have a cold. But, I did post the item (as screwed up as it was) because this thread was made 'specially for Craven'.
Typical day at Craven's......
Lil' Kay, i was not trying to pick on you . . . if that is how you feel, you have my sincere apology . . .
I don't, just making my excuses
Ohmigawd! You people do realise that that there OUGHT to be a poem called Poe's "The Craven", don't you?
Now I be all a cogitated...

It even started that way. The French were the ones who discovered his "genius".
Many European literary greats studied English "the better to understand Poe".
Gotta love Elizabeth Barrett Browning's comment:
" I hear of persons haunted by the 'Nevermore', and one acquaintance of mine who has the misfortune of possessing a 'bust of Pallas' never can bear to look at it in the twilight."
Bit of the fabulous czech translation, as you can all appreciate:
"Proroku," dím, "mene tekel, ať jsi pták anebo z pekel,
při nebi, je nad námi je, při Bohu, jen leká mne,
rci té dui, je al tají, zdali aspoň jednou v ráji
tu, ji svatí nazývají Lenora, kdy přivine,
jasnou dívku Lenoru, kdy v náruči své přivine" -
havran dí: "U víckrát ne."
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Ewwww - evil mins' dogbreath.....
Get that dog some charcoal.
As I was riffling through these postings I was shocked to see a photo of youse wimmens cavorting with Rasp...I mean Craven. Yes, I know he's grown a rather long black beard but...really!

Panzade, ah---the memories of the glorious battles between the sexes. The wimmens won, of course.

and there will be some feedback on this one:

who knows best how to get on without them."

Quote:"A sweetheart is a bottle of wine; a wife is a wine bottle."
Charles Baudelaire
He died at age 46 from a painful venereal disease contracted from one
of his many sweethearts.
the wimmins did not win, us mins just got tired of listening. and of course there was the ncaa mins basketball tournament, when sports are on, the voices of wimmins just become a dull buzz..........
Go eat your young, evil wol min!
