The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar

Allan Poe his heart was like a suspended

loot at the slightest touch it

resonated a translation from a French

poem during the whole of a dull dark and

soundless day in the Autumn of the year

when the clouds hung oppressively low in

the heavens I had been passing alone on

Horseback through a singularly dreary

tract of country and at length found

myself as the shades of the evening Drew

on within view of The Melancholy House

of Usher I know not how it was but with

the first glimpse of the building a

sense of insufferable Gloom pervaded my

spirit I say insufferable for the

feeling was unrelieved by any of that

half pleasurable because poetic

sentiment with which the Mind usually

receives even the sternest natural

images of the desolate or terrible I

looked upon the scene before me upon the

mere house and the simple landscape

features of the domain upon the Bleak

walls upon the vacant ey likee Windows

upon a few rank sedes

and upon a few white trunks of decayed

trees with an utter depression of Soul

which I can compare to no earthly

sensation more properly than to the

After Dream of the reveler upon opium

the bitter lapse into everyday life the

Hideous dropping off of the veil there

was an iciness a sinking a sickening of

the heart an unredeemed dreariness of

thought which no goting of the

imagination could torture into a of the

sublime what was it I paused to think

what was it that so unnerved me in the

contemplation of the House of Usher it

was a mystery all

insoluble nor could I grapple with the

shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as

I pondered I was forced to fall back

upon the unsatisfactory conclusion

that while Beyond doubt there are

combinations of very simple natural

objects which have the power of thus

affecting us still the analysis of this

power lies among considerations beyond

our depth it was possible I reflected

that a mere different arrangement of the

particulars of the scene of the details

of the picture would be sufficient to

modify or perhaps to annihilate its

capacity for sorrowful impression and

acting upon this idea I rained my horse

to the precipitous brink of a black and

lurid Tarn that lay in unruffled luster

by the dwelling and gazed down but with

a shudder even more thrilling than

before upon the remodeled and inverted

images of the gray sge and the ghastly

tree stems and the vacant ey likee

Windows nevertheless in this Mansion of

Gloom I now proposed to myself a sojourn

of some weeks its proprietor rodri Usher

had been one of my Boon companions in

Boyhood but many years had elapsed since

our last meeting a letter however had

lately reached me in a distant part of

the country a from him which in its

wildly importunate nature had admitted

of no other than a personal reply the

message gave evidence of nervous

agitation the writer spoke of acute

bodily illness of a mental disorder

which oppressed him and of an Earnest

desire to see me as his best and indeed

his only personal friend with a view of

attempting by the cheerfulness of my

Society some alleviation of his malady

it was the manner in which all this and

much more was said it was the apparent

heart that went with his request which

allowed me no room for hesitation and I

accordingly obeyed forth with what I

still considered a very singular

summons although as boys we had been

even intimate Associates yet I really

knew little of my friend his reserve had

been old always excessive and habitual I

was aware however that his very ancient

family had been noted time out of mind

for a peculiar sensibility of

temperament displaying itself through

long ages in many works of exalted art

and manifested of late in repeated Deeds

of munificent yet unobtrusive charity as

well as in a passionate Devotion to the intricacies

intricacies

perhaps even more than to the Orthodox

and easily recognizable beauties of

musical science I had learned too the

very remarkable fact that the stem of

the Usher race all time honored as it

was had put forth at no period any

enduring branch in other words that the

entire family lay in the direct line of

descent and had always way with very

trifling and very temporary variation so

Lan it was this deficiency I considered

while running over in thought the

perfect keeping of the character of the

premises with the accredited character

of the people and while speculating upon

the possible influence which the one in

the long lapse of centuries might have

exercised upon the other it was this

deficiency perhaps of collateral issue

and the consequent undeviating

transmission from sire to Sun of the

patrimony with the name which had at

length so identified the two as to merge

the original title of the estate in the

quaint and equivocal appellation of the

House of Usher an appellation which

seemed to include in the minds of the

peasantry who used it both the family

and the family mansion I have said that

the sole effect of my somewhat childish

experiment that of looking down within

the Tarn had been to deepen the first

singular impression there can be no

doubt that the consciousness of the

rapid increase of my

Superstition for why should I not so

term it served mainly to accelerate the increase

increase

itself such I have long known is the

paradoxical law of all sentiments having Terror

Terror

as a basis and it might have been for

this reason only that when I again

uplifted my eyes to the house itself

from its image in the pool there grew in

my mind a strange fancy a fancy so

ridiculous indeed that I but mention it

to show the Vivid force of the

sensations which oppressed me I had so

worked upon my imagination as really to

believe that about the whole mansion and

domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar

to themselves and their immediate

vicinity an atmosphere which had no

Affinity with the air of heaven but

which had W up from the decayed trees

and the gray wall and the silent Tarn a

pestilent and Mystic Vapor dull sluggish

faintly discernable and leaden hue

shaking off my spirit from what must

have been a dream I scanned more

narrowly the real aspect of the building

its principal feature seemed to be that

of an excessive

Antiquity the discoloration of Ages had

been great minute fungi overspread the

whole exterior hanging in a fine tangled

web work from the eaves yet all this was

apart from any extraordinary Ary

dilapidation no portion of the masonry

had fallen and there appeared to be a

wild inconsistency between its still

perfect adaptation of parts and the

crumbling condition of the individual

stones in this there was much that

reminded me of the specious totality of

old woodwork which had rotted for long

years in some neglected Vault with no

disturbance from the breath of the

external there Beyond this indication of

extensive Decay however the fabric gave

little token of

instability perhaps the eye of a

scrutinizing Observer might have

discovered a barely perceptible fissure

which extending from the roof of the

building in front made its way down the

wall in a zigzag Direction until it

became lost in the Sullen Waters of the

Tarn noticing these things things I rode

over a short Causeway to the house a

servant in Waiting took my horse and I

entered the gothic Archway of the hall a

valet of stealthy step then conducted me

in silence through many dark and

intricate passages in my progress to the

studio of his master much that I

encountered on the way contributed I

know not how to heighten the vague

Sentiments of which I have already spok

spoken while the objects around me while

the carvings of the ceilings the somber

tapestries of the walls the ebony

Blackness of the floors and the

fantasmagorical trophies which rattled

as I stroe were but matters to which or

to such as which I had been accustomed

from my infancy while I hesitated not to

acknowledge how familiar was all this I

still wondered to find how un familiar

with a fancies which ordinary images

were stirring up on one of the

staircases I met the physician of the

family his countenance I thought wore a

mingled expression of low cunning and

perplexity he accosted me with

trepidation and passed on the valet now

threw open a door and ushered me into

the presence of his master the room in

which I found myself was very large and

lofty the windows were long narrow and

pointed and at so vast a distance from

the black Oaken floor as to be all

together inaccessible from within feeble

gleams of encrimsoned light made their

way through the trellist pains and

served to render sufficiently distinct

the more prominent objects around the

eye however struggled in vain to reach

the remoter angles of the chamber or the

recesses of the Ved and Fred

ceiling dark draperies hung upon the

walls the general Furniture was profuse

comfortless antique and tattered many

books and musical instruments lay

scattered about but failed to give any

Vitality to the scene I felt that I

breathed an atmosphere of the sorrow an

air of stern deep and irredeemable Gloom

hung over over and pervaded all upon my

entrance Usher rose from a sofa on which

he had been lying at full length and

greeted me with a vivacious warmth which

had much in it I at first thought of an

overdone cordiality of the constrained

effort of the onwe man of the world a

glance however at his countenance

convinced me of his perfect sincerity we

sat down and for some moment while he

spoke not I gazed upon him with a

feeling half of pity half of awe surely

man had never before so terribly altered

in so brief a period as rodri Usher it

was with difficulty that I could bring

myself to admit the identity of the man

being before me with the companion of my early

early

Boyhood yet the character of his face

had been at all times remarkable

a cadaverousness of complexion an eye

large liquid and luminous Beyond

comparison lips somewhat thin and very

palid but of a surpassingly beautiful

curve a nose of a delicate Hebrew model

but with a breath of nostril unusual in similar

similar

formations a finely molded chin speaking

in want of prominence of a want of moral

energy hair of a more than weblike

softness and

tenuity these features with an

inordinate expression above the regions

of the temple made up altogether a

countenance not easily to be forgotten

and now in the mere exaggeration of the

prevailing character of these features

and of the expression they were want to

convey lay so much of change that I

doubted to whom I

spoke the now ghastly palor of the skin

and the now miraculous luster of the eye

Above All Things startled and even awed

me the silken hair too had been suffered

to grow all

unheeded and as in its wild gossamer

texture it floated rather than fell

about the face I could not even even

with effort connect its Arabesque

expression with any idea of simple

Humanity in the manner of my friend I

was at once struck with an incoherence an

inconsistency and I soon found this to

arise from a series of feeble and futile

struggles to overcome an habitual

trepidancy an excessive nervous

agitation for something of this nature I

had indeed been prepared Ed no less by

his letter than by reminiscences of

certain boyish traits and by conclusions

deduced from his peculiar physical

confirmation and

temperament his action was alternately

vivacious and Sullen his voice varied

rapidly from a tremulous indecision when

the animal spirits seemed utterly in

abeyance to that species of energetic

concision that abrupt weighty unhurried

and Hollow sounding

enunciation that leaden self-balanced

and perfectly modulated guttural

utterance which may be observed in the

Lost drunkard or the irreclaimable Eater

of opium during the periods of most intense

intense

excitement it was thus that he spoke of

the object of my visit of his Earnest

desire to see me and of the Solace he

expected me to afford him

he entered at some length into what he

conceived to be the nature of his

malady it was he said a constitutional

and a family evil and one for which he

despaired to find a remedy a mere

nervous affection he immediately added

which would undoubtedly soon pass off it

displayed itself in a host of unnatural

Sensations some of the

as he detailed them interested and

bewildered me although perhaps the terms

and the general manner of their

narration had their weight he suffered

much from a morbid acuteness of the

senses the most insipid food was alone

endurable he could wear only garments of

certain textures the odors of all

flowers were oppressive his eyes were

tortured by even a faint light

and there were but peculiar sounds and

these from stringed instruments which

did not Inspire him with horror to an

anomalous species of Terror I found him

a bound

slave I Shall Perish said he I must

perish in this deplorable Folly thus

thus and not otherwise shall I be lost I

dread the events of the future not in

themselves but in their

results I shudder at the thought of any

even the most trivial incident which may

operate upon this intolerable agitation

of soul I have indeed no aberin of

danger except in its absolute effect in

Terror in this unnerved in this pitiable

condition I feel that the period will

sooner or later arrive when I must

abandon life and reason together in some

struggle with the Grim fantasm

fantasm

fear I learned moreover at intervals and

through broken and equivocal hints

another singular feature of his mental

condition he was enchained by certain

superstitious impressions in regard to

the dwelling which he tenanted and

whence for many years he had never

ventured forth in regard to an influence

whose superstitious force was conveyed

in terms too shadowy here to be

reinstated an influence which some

peculiarities in the mere form and

substance of his family Mansion had by

Dent of long suffering he said obtained

over his spirit and an effect which the

physique of the gray walls and turrets

and of the dim Tarn into which they all

looked down had at length brought about

upon the morale of his

existence he admitted however although

with hesitation that much of the

peculiar Gloom which thus Afflicted him

could be traced to a more natural and

far more palpable origin to the severe

and long continued illness indeed to the

evidently approaching dissolution of a

tenderly beloved sister his sole

companion for long years his last and

only relative on Earth her

decease he said with a bitterness which

I can never forget would leave him him

the Hopeless and the frail the last of

the ancient race of the

ushers while he spoke the lady meline

for so she was called passed slowly

through a remote portion of the

apartment and without having noticed my presence

presence

disappeared I regarded her with an utter

astonishment not unmingled with Dread

and yet I found it impossible to account

for such feelings a sensation of stuper

oppressed me as my eyes followed her

retreating steps when a door at length

closed upon her my glance sought

instinctively and eagerly the

countenance of the brother but he had

buried his face in his hands and I could

only perceive that a far more than ordinary

ordinary

Wess had overspread the emaciated

fingers through which trickled many passionate

passionate

tears the disease of the lady meline had

long baffled the skill of her Physicians

a settled apathy a gradual wasting away

of the person and frequent although

transient affections of a partially

cataleptical character with unusual

diagnosis hither to she had steadily

borne up against the pressure of her

malady and had not betaken herself

finally to bed but on the closing in the

evening of my arrival at the house

she succumbed as her brother told me at

night with inexpressible agitation to

the prostrating power of the

destroyer and I learned that the Glimpse

I had obtained of her person would thus

probably be the last I should obtain

that the lady at least while living

would be seen by me no more for several

days ensuing her name was unmentioned by

either Usher or myself and during this

period I was busied in Earnest Endeavors

to alleviate The Melancholy of my friend

we painted and read together or I

listened as if in a dream to the wild

improvisations of his speaking guitar

and thus as a closer and still closer

intimacy admitted me more unreservedly

into the recesses of his Spirit the more

bitterly did I perceive the futility of

all attempt at cheering a mind from

which Darkness as if an inherent

positive quality poured forth upon all

objects of the moral and physical

Universe in one unceasing

radiation of Gloom I shall ever bear

about me a memory of the many Solem

hours I thus spent alone with the Master

of the House of Usher yet I should fail

in any attempt to convey an idea of the

exact character of the studies or of the

occupations in which he involved me or

LED me the way an excited and highly

distempered ideality through a sulfurous luster

luster

overall his long improvised durges will

ring forever in my ears among other

things I hold painfully in my mind a

certain singular perversion and

amplification of the wild air of the

last Walts of Von Weber from the

paintings over which his elaborate fancy

brooded and which grew Touch by touch

into vagueness at which I shuddered the

more thrillingly because I shuddered

knowing not why from these paintings

Vivid as their images now are before me

I would in vain Endeavor to uce more

than a small portion which should lie

within the compass of merely written

words by the utter Simplicity by the

nakedness of his designs he arrested an

overa attention if ever mortal painted

an idea that mortal was rodri Usher for

me at least in the circumstances then

surrounding me there arose out of the

pure abstractions which the

hypochondriac contrived to throw upon

his canvas an intensity of Intolerable

awe no shadow of which felt I ever yet

in the contemplation of the certainly

glowing yet two concrete reveries of

fantasmagorico rigidly in the spirit of

abstraction may be shadowed forth

although Fe feily in words a small

picture presented the interior of an

immensely long and rectangular Vault or

tunnel with low walls smooth white and

without interruption or

device certain accessory points of the

design served well to convey the idea

that this excavation lay at an exceeding

depth below the surface of the Earth no

Outlet was observed in any portion of

its vast extent and no torch or other

artificial source of light was

discernible yet a flood of intense Rays

rolled throughout and bathed the whole

in a ghastly and inappropriate

inappropriate

Splendor I have just spoken of that

morbid condition of the auditory nerve

which rendered all music intolerable to

the sufferer with the exception of

certain effects of strange to

instruments it was perhaps the narrow

limits to which he thus confined himself

upon the guitar which gave birth in

great measure to the Fantastic character

of the

performances but the fervid facility of his

his

impromptu could not be so accounted for

they must have been and were in the

notes as well as in the words of his

wild fantasias for he not unfrequently

accompanied himself with rhymed verbal

improvisations the result of that

intense mental collectedness and

concentration to which I have previously

alluded as observable only in partial

movements of the highest artificial

excitement the words of one of these rap

cidies I have easily remembered I was

perhaps the more forcibly impressed with

it as he gave it because in the under or

Mystic current its meaning I fancied

that I perceived and for the first time

a full Consciousness on the part of

Usher of the tottering of his lofty

reason upon her throne the verses which

were entitled The Haunted Palace ran

very nearly if not

accurately thus in the greenest of our

valleys by good angels tenanted once a

fair and stately Palace radiant Palace

reared its head in the Monarch thoughts

Dominion it stood there never sarap

spread opinion over fabric half so fair

banners yellow glorious golden on its

roof did float and

flow this all this was in the olden time

long AG ago and every gentle air that

died in that sweet day along the

rampart's plumed and palad a winged odor

went away Wanderers in that Happy Valley

through two luminous Windows saw Spirits

moving musically to aut's well tuned law

round about a throne were sitting poor

fog jeene in state his glory well

befitting the ruler of the realm was

seen and all with pearl and Ruby glowing

was the Fair Palace door through which

came flowing flowing

flowing and sparkling ever more a troop

of Echoes whose sweet Duty was to sing

in voices of surpassing beauty the wit

and wisdom of their King but evil things

in Robes of Sorrow assailed the

Monarch's High estate ah let us mourn

for never tomorrow shall Dawn upon Him

desolate and round about his home the

glory that blushed and bloomed is but a

dim remembered story of the old time

inomed and travelers now within that

Valley through the red Litt Windows see

vast forms that move

fantastically to a discordant

Melody while like a rapid ghastly river

through the pale door a hideous th wrong

rush out forever and laugh but smile no

more I will remember that suggestions

arising from this ballad led us into a

train of thought wherein there became

manifest an opinion of ushers which I

mention not so much on account of its

novelty for other men have thought thus

as on account of the pertinency with

which he maintained it this opinion in

its general form was the sentience of

all vegetable things but in his

disordered fancy the idea had assumed a

more daring character and trespassed

under certain conditions upon the

kingdom of in

organization I lack words to express the

full extent where the earnest abandon of his

his

persuasion the belief however was

connected as I have previously hinted

with the gray stones of the home of his

forefathers the conditions of the

sentients had been there he imagined

fulfilled in the method of cocation of

these stones in the order of their

Arrangement as well as in that of the

many fungi which overspread them and of

the decayed trees which stood

around above all in the long undisturbed

endurance of this Arrangement and in the

reduplication in the Still Waters of the

Tarn it's evidence the evidence of the

sentience was to be seen he said and I

here started as he spoke in the gradual

yet certain condensation of an

atmosphere of their own about the waters

and the

walls the result was discoverable he

added in that silent yet importent and

terrible influence which for centuries

had molded the Destinies of his family

and which made him what I now saw him

what he was such opinions need no

comment and I will make none our books

the books which for years had formed no

small portion of the mental existence of

the invalid were as might be supposed in

strict keeping with the character of

fantasm we poured together over such

works as The Verve esart Truse of gret

the bagor of mavelli the Heaven and Hell of

swedenborg the Subterranean Voyage of

Nicholas clim by

Holberg the chiromancy of Robert flood

of JEA indin and of deambra the Journey

Into the Blue distance of tiek and the

City of the sun of

Campanella one favorite volume was a

small octavo edition of The dorium

Inquisitor by the Dominican imik

dejon and there were passages in

pomponius Mela about the old African

seders and Egyptians over which Usher

would sit dreaming for

hours his chief Delight however was

found in the perusal of an exceedingly

rare and curious book in Corto Gothic

the manual of a forgotten Church the

vigil morum suum Korum Ecclesia

magun I could not help thinking of the

wild ritual of this work and of its

probable influence upon the

hypochondriac when one evening having

informed me abruptly that the lady

meline was no more he stated his

intention of preserving her corpse for a

fortnight previously to its final

internment in one of the numerous vaults

within the main walls of the building

the worldly reason however assigned for

this singular proceeding was one which I

did not feel at Liberty to dispute the

brother had been led to his resolution

so he told me by consideration of the

unusual character of the malady of the

deceased of certain obtrusive and eager

inquiries on the part of her medical men

and of the remote and exposed situation

of the burial ground of the family I

will not deny that when I called to mind

the Sinister countenance of the person

whom I met upon the staircase on the day

of my arrival at the house I had no

desire to oppose what I regarded as at

best but a harmless and by no means an

unnatural precaution at the request of

Usher I personally aided him in the

arrangements for the temporary

inment the body having been en coffined

we to alone bore it to its rest the

vault in which we placed it and which

had been so long unopened that our

torches half smothered in its oppressive

atmosphere gave us little opportunity

for investigation was small damp and

entirely without means of admission for

light lying at Great depth immediately

beneath the portion of the building in

which was my own sleeping apartment it

had been used apparently in remote

feudal times for the worst purposes of a

Don joh keep and in later days as a

place of deposit for powder or some

other highly combustible substance

as a portion of its floor and the whole

interior of a long Archway through which

we reached it were carefully sheathed

with copper the door of massive iron had

been also similarly protected its

immense weight caused an unusually sharp

grading sound as it moved upon its

hinges having deposited our mournful

burden upon trestles within this region

of horror we partially turned to inside

the yet unscrewed lid of the coffin and

looked upon the face of the tenant a

striking similitude between the brother

and sister now first arrested my

attention and Usher divining perhaps my

thoughts murmured out some few words

from which I learned that the deceased

and himself had been

Twins and that sympathies of a scarcely

intelligible nature had all always

existed between them our glances however

rested not long upon the dead for we

could not regard her

uned the disease which had thus inomed

the lady in the maturity of Youth had

left as usual in all maladies of a

strictly catalytical character the

mockery of a faint blush upon the bosom

and the face and that suspiciously

lingering smile upon the lips which is

so terrible in death we placed and

screwed down the lid and having secured

the door of iron made our way with toy

into the scarcely less gloomy Apartments

of the upper portion of the house and

now some days of bitter grief having

elapsed an observable change came over

the features of the mental disorder of

my friend his ordinary manner had vanished

vanished

his ordinary occupations were neglected

or forgotten he roamed from chamber to

chamber with hurried unequal and

objectless step the palor of his

countenance had assumed if possible a

more ghastly Hue but the luminousness of

his eye had utterly gone out the once

occasional huskiness of his tone was

heard no more and a tremulous Quaver as

as if of extreme Terror habitually

characterized his utterance there were

times indeed when I thought his

unceasingly agitated mind was laboring

with some oppressive secret to divulge

which he struggled for the necessary

courage at times again I was obliged to

resolve all into the mere inexplicable

vagaries of

Madness for I beheld him gazing upon

vacancy for long hours in an attitude of

the profoundest attention as if

listening to some imaginary sound it was

no wonder that his condition terrified

that it infected me I felt creeping upon

me by slow yet certain degrees the wild

influence of his own fantastic yet impressive

impressive

superstitions it was especially upon

retiring to bed late in the night of the

seventh or Eighth Day after placing the

lady meline within the Don John that I

experienced the full power of such

feelings sleep came not near my couch

while the hours waned and waned away I

struggled to reason off the nervousness

which had dominion over me I endeavored

to believe that much if not all of what

I felt was due to the bewildering

influence of of the gloomy Furniture of

the room of the dark and tattered

draperies which tortured into motion by

the breath of a rising Tempest swayed

fitfully to and fro upon the walls and

rustled uneasily about the decorations

of the bed but my efforts were fruitless

an impressible Tremor gradually pervaded

my frame and at length there sat upon my

very heart and Incubus of utterly

causeless alarm shaking this off with a

gasp and a struggle I uplifted myself

upon the pillows and peering earnestly

within the intense dark of the chamber

hearkened I know not why except that an

intensive Spirit prompted me to certain

low and indefinite sounds which came

through the pauses of the Storm at long

inter intervals I knew not whence

overpowered by an intense sentiment of

horror unaccountable yet

unendurable I threw on my clothes with

haste for I felt that I should sleep no

more during the night and endeavored to

arouse myself from the pitiable

condition into which I had fallen by

pacing rapidly to and fro through the

apartment I had taken but few turns in

this manner

when a light step on an adjoining

staircase arrested my attention I

presently recognized it as that of Usher

in an instant afterward he wrapped with

a gentle touch at my door and entered

bearing a lamp his countenance was as

usual cadaverous Wan but moreover there

was a species of mad hilarity in his

eyes an evidently restrained hysteria in

his whole demeanor his air appalled me

but anything was preferable to the

Solitude which I had so long endured and

I even welcomed his presence as a relief

and you have not seen it he said

abruptly after having stared about him

for some moments in silence you have not

then seen it but stay you shall thus

speaking and having carefully shaded his

lamp he hurried to one of the casements

and threw it freely open to the

storm the impetuous Fury of the entering

gust nearly lifted us from our feet it

was indeed a

tempestuous yet sternly beautiful night

and one wildly singular in its Terror

and its beauty a whirlwind had

apparently collected its force in our

vicinity for there were frequent and

violent alterations in the direction of

the wind and the exceeding density of

the clouds which hung so low as to press

upon the turrets of the house did not

prevent our perceiving the lifelike

velocity with which they flew careering

from all points against each other

without passing away into the distance I

say that even their exceeding density

did not prevent our perceiving this

yet we had no glimpse of the moon or

Stars nor was there any flashing forth

of the lightning but the under surfaces

of the huge masses of agitated Vapor as

well as all terrestrial objects

immediately around us were glowing in

the unnatural light of a faintly

luminous and distinctly visible gaseous

exhalation which hung about and in

routed the

Mansion you must not you shall not

behold this said I shuttering to Usher

as I led him with a gentle violence from

the window to a seat these appearances

which bewilder you are merely electrical

phenomena not uncommon or it may be that

they have their ghastly origin in the

rank miasma of the Tarn let us close

this casement the air is chilling and

dangerous to your frame here is one of

your favorite

romances I will read and you shall

listen and so we will pass away this

terrible night together the antique

volume which I had taken up was the Mad

trist of Sir lelot caning but I had

called it a favorite of ushers more in

sad justest than in Earnest for in truth

there's little in its UNC and

unimaginative prolixity which could have

had interest for the lofty and spiritual

ideality of my friend it was however the

only book immediately at hand and I

indulged a vague hope that the

excitement which now agitated the

hypochondriac might find relief for the

history of mental disorder is full of

similar anomalies even in the

extremeness of the Folly which I should

read could I have judged indeed by the

wild overstrained air of vivacity with

which he hearkened or apparently

hearkened to the words of the tale I

might well have congratulated myself

upon the success of my design I had

arrived at that well-known portion of

the story where Ethel the hero of the

trist having sought in vain for

Peaceable admission into the dwelling of

the hermit proceeds to make good an

entrance by force

here it will be remembered the words of

the narrative run thus quote and Ethel

who was by nature of a Dy heart and who

was now Mighty with all on account of

the powerfulness of the wine which he

had drunken waited no longer to hold

parlay with the hermit who in sooth was

of an obstinate and maliceful turn but

feeling the rain upon his shoulders and

fearing the rising of the Tempest

uplifted his mace outright and with

blows made quickly room in the plankings

of the door for his gauntleted hand and

now pulling therewith sturdily he so

cracked and ripped and tore all AER that

the noise of the dry and Hollow sounding

wood aara

and reverberated throughout the

forest at the termination of this

sentence I started and for a moment

paused for it appeared to me although I

at once concluded that my excited fancy

had deceived me it appeared to me that

from some very remote portion of the

Mansion there came indistinctly to my

ears what might have been in its exact

similarity of character the echo

but a stifled and dull one certainly of

the very cracking and ripping sound

which sir Lancelot had so particularly

described it was beyond doubt The

Coincidence alone which had arrested my

attention for amid the rattling of the

sashes of the casements and the ordinary

comingled noises of the still increasing

storm the sound in itself had nothing

surely which should have interested or

disturbed me I continued the story quote

but the good Champion Ethel red now

entering within the door was sore

enraged and amazed to perceive no signal

of the maliceful hermit but instead

thereof a dragon of a scaly and

prodigious demeanor and of a fiery

tongue which sat in in guard before a

Palace of Gold with a floor of silver

and upon the wall there hung a shield of

shining brass with this Legend in

written who entereth herein a conqueror

hath been who slayeth the dragon The

Shield he shall win and Ethel red

uplifted his m face and struck upon the

head of the Dragon which fell before him

and gave up his pesty breath with a

shriek so horrid and harsh and with all

so piercing that Ethel red had Fain to

close his ears with his hands against

the Dreadful noise of it the like

whereof was never before

heard here again I paused abruptly and

now with a feeling of wild amazement for

there could be no doubt whatever that in

this instance I did actually hear

although from what direction it preceded

I found it impossible to say a low and

apparently distant but harsh protracted

and most unusual screaming or gring

sound the exact counterpart of what my

fancy had already conjured up for the

dragon's unnatural shriek as descri Red

by the

romancer oppressed as I certainly was

upon the occurrence of this second and

most extraordinary coincidence by a

thousand conflicting

Sensations in which wonder and extreme

Terror were

predominant I still retained sufficient

presence of mind to avoid exciting by

any observation the sensitive

nervousness of my

companion I was by no means certain that

he had noticed the Sounds in question

although assuredly a strange alteration

had during the last few minutes taken

place in his demeanor from a position

fronting my own he had gradually brought

round his chair so as to sit with his

face to the door of the chamber and thus

I could but partially perceive his

features although I saw that his lips

trembled as if he were murmuring ing

inaudibly his head had dropped upon his

breast yet I knew that he was not asleep

from the wide and rigid opening of the

eye as I caught a glance of it in

profile the motion of his body too was

at variance with this idea for he rocked

from side to side with a gentle yet

constant and uniform

sway having rapidly taken notice of all

this I resumed The Narrative of Sir

Lancelot which thus preceded quote and

now the champion having escaped from the

terrible Fury of the Dragon bethinking

himself of the Brazen shield and of the

breaking up of the enchantment which was

upon it removed the carcass from out of

the way before him and approached

valorously over the silver pavement of

the castle to where the shield was upon

the wall which in sooth tarried not for

his full coming but fell down at his

feet upon the silver floor with a mighty

great and terrible ringing

sound no sooner had these syllables

passed my lips then as if a shield of

brass had indeed at the moment Fallen

heavily upon a floor of silver I became

aware of a distinct Hollow metallic and

clangorous yet apparently muffled

reverberation completely unnerved I

leapt to my feet but the measured

rocking movement of Usher was

undisturbed I rushed to the chair in

which he sat his eyes were bent fixedly

before him and throughout his whole

countenance there rained a Stony

rigidity but as I placed my hand upon

his shoulder there came a strong shudder

over his whole person a sickly smile

quivered about his lips and I saw that

he spoke in a low hurried and gibbering

murmur as if unconscious of my presence

bending closely over him I at length

Drank in the Hideous import of his words

not hear it yes I hear it and have heard

it long long long long many minutes many

hours many days have I heard it yet I

dared not oh pity me miserable wretch

that I am I dared not I dared not speak

we have put her living in the Tomb said

I not that my senses were cute I now

tell you that I heard her first feeble

movements in the hollow often I heard

them many many days ago yet I dared not

I dared not speak and now tonight Ethel

R the breaking of the hermit's door and

the death Cry Of The Dragon and the

clanger of The Shield say rather the

rening of her coffin and the grading of

the iron hinges of her prison and her

struggles within the coppered archway of

the Vault oh wither shall I fly will she

not be here and on is she not hurrying

to uaid me for my haste have I not heard

her footsteps on the stair do I not

distinguish that heavy and horrible

beating of her heart madman here he

sprang furiously to his feet and

shrieked out his syllables as if in the

effort he were giving up his soul madman

I tell you that she now stands without

the door as if in the Supernatural

energy of his utterance there had been

found the potency of a spell the huge

antique panels to which the speaker

pointed threw slowly back upon the

instant their ponderous and Ebony Jaws

it was the work of the rushing gust but

then without those doors there did stand

the lofty and enshrouded figure of the

lady meline of Usher there was blood

upon her white robes and the evidence of

some bitter struggle upon every portion

of her emaciated frame for a moment she

remained trembling and reeling to and

fro upon the

threshold then with a low moaning cry

fell heavily inward upon the person of

her brother and in her violent and now

final death agonies bore him to the

floor a corpse and a victim to the

Terrors he had

anticipated from that chamber and from

that Mansion I fled a gast the storm was

still abroad in all its wrath as I found

myself crossing the old Causeway

suddenly there shot along the path a

wild light and I turned to see whence a

gleam so unusual could have issued for

the vast house and its Shadows were

alone behind me the radiance was that of

the full setting and blood red moon

which now shown vividly through that

once barely discernable fissure of which

I have before spoken as extending from

the roof of the building in a zigzag

direction to the base while I gazed this

fissure rapidly

widened there came a fierce breath of

the Whirlwind the entire orb of the

satellite burst at once upon my sight my

brain reeled as I saw the mighty walls rushing

rushing

asunder there was a long tumultuous

shouting sound like the voice of a

thousand Waters and the deep and dank

Tarn at my feet closed sullenly and

silently over the fragments of the House
