Maybe you know, maybe you don't. There is a poem by Edgar Allen Poe called Annabel Lee, and today when I was on Google searching for monologues (yeah. acting is pretty much the bomb) it came up. Well, I read it because I remember a teacher reading it once and me thinking that it was such a pretty poem. But, today, I realized that this is completely Edward and Bella set to a poem. Only Edward is the narrator, Bella is Annabel Lee, and the kingdom by the sea is Forks...
HERE IT IS:
ANNABEL LEE
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know,
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In a kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
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.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of those who were wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Could ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of my beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling-my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
-Edgar Allen Poe
Geez. I think its kinda creepy how even the "chilling and killing" thing fits in. Well, that's all for now folks, ta-ta!
