    You can hear and feel the beauty even in a mind full of pain. That's why life is always precious.
    No slither of sadness or disappointment can dim the real light within.

    I remember a friend in school who once told me he was reading Poe and I laughed at him. I remember he used to get bullied and would smell and for sure had a terrible home life. We were vague friends and he was insanely smart and kind and wore one of the sweetest smiles I've seen. A smile that when I remember it makes me weep. Taren is a beautiful person.

      @@vintagemoods In my experience, many young people can't appreciate spoken poetry because it is often about one's life experience, of which they have very little experience navigating. I hardly appreciated poetry until recently, I tried my hand at it a few times when I was much younger, but could only ever muster limericks, or anaphora. I even chastised myself for not being great at it. Now I see the beauty in all forms of artistic philosophy.

      He’s speaking about what psychedelics does to you.. at the peak your hands feels very sandy and tingles a lot.. when it kicks in you feel as though you are awaken for the first time and that life in itself is just a dream.. the tormented shore is the place you get though when trying to figure out your life that’s part of the introspection.. and the soul that he’s trying to save is getting someone to believe him and his experience.. if he tried explaining it they’d say he’s a mad man..

    Poe was a strange individual, but he was fully aware that he was different. He wrote about it in poems such as "All I loved I loved alone". Most of us have eccentricities but aren't aware of what they are, only others see them. Poe was gifted to see himself as he truly was. I suppose we are all strange, it's our commonality, but to face it is divine.

    Mark Twain gets credit as the first great American writer, the one who brought us to the world stage. But I’ve alway said it was Poe. He is known for some 15 stories of horror and madness and scant selection of his poetry but he was so much more. It work as a crisis is beautiful prose. He wrote far more comedies and dramas than horror. He pioneered the detective story (sorry Doyle) and he pioneered science fiction (sorry Wells). And he was a master essayist. His work in the craft itself is also inspiring. Any writer of any genre who dares encapsulates their works entire feeling and sensation in one single opening line owes scent of gratitude to this man. You are forever and always my eternal muse Mr. Poe and I thank you greatly

      However, I'd like to advocate for Mary Shelley as the pioneer of science fiction.... rather than The Modern Prometheus I think it is her post apocalyptic vison in The Last Man that should give her the credit.

      @emmettwalz 4 роки тому +4

      He has a very rich, sonorous voice, but no one ever trained him on oration, or the reading of verse. He came to a downward inflection at the end of each, and every line in the poem, despite the thought not yet being complete. It is a major elementary principle in reading poetry (or prose, as well) that while the writer (the poet, in this instance) may even capitalize the first word of each succeeding line (as in many poems), the "sentence" is not complete until one sees the period (which means the thought is now complete). Until the period appears, one must hold an upward inflection in the voice at the end of each line in order to sustain the thought being expressed, until reaching that end point in the sentence (signified, even as in prose, by a period). And that principle holds doubly important when arriving at the end of a question posed within a poem (or prose). Even in this instance, the "orator" here chose to come to a complete declarative stop in the thought by incorporating a downward inflection at the end of the first question posed in the poem. It became a declaration of an idea rather than a question posed to the reader. He clearly is untrained as an orator, or reader of poetry. He is "getting by" on a good deep voice, but loses significantly in the impact of his reading by failing to learn the basic principles of oratory. These same principles apply to giving any kind of a speech, and holding the audience's attention within the sentence by sustained upward vocal inflection, until coming to the end of a sentence.

    • @emmettwalz
      @emmettwalz 4 роки тому +2

      If you listen to the speeches given by George W. Bush in the first months after his first election victory, you can hear this principle most clearly, as he was not able to hold his thought past two to three words within a sentence. After the Sept 11 disaster "someone" realized that his speeches needed to be "fixed" by teaching him to speak "all the words within a single thought" before coming to the end of his sentences. His speeches became far more comprehensible after that period, and for the remainder of his presidency, though he surely remained a first class dunce, and mere puppet of Cheney and the other overlords within the oligarchic power structure. He was merely more understandable in his stupidity.

    How beautiful my death is
    How beautiful my love is"
    This is one of my poem hope you all like it

    Poe, while interviewing for a job with President Tyler, diverted from the interview to sell him a subscription to his magazine.
    He never gave up on his dream, and we are all better off for it.

    Spiritual suicide...to forsake the poetry in your heart for the visions in your head...Pain in every line, a dirge in every verse, a requiem in every prose. So much elegance in so little happiness. America's greatest poet haunted by the spectre of his past, proving, (sadly) that loss & unhappiness makes for poetry that is resoundingly poignant and unforgettably sublime.
