The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe

[ItsAlliBear]

I adore the poem and your tone but maybe feel more emotion within what you're reading. There was more than stiffness (in a way) throughout the poem. There was merriment, terror, ect.

[andrewthompson10]

The first part of this poem has the words merriment,delight, sprinkling heavens......why does everyone read it without an ounce of merriment in their voice?

[SteveBeakWeiland]

Welcome to the madness that existed in this man's conciousness. Imagine hearing the bells, incessantly and never-ending, ringing in your brain until you were compelled, compelled, compelled to write about the bells, bells, bells, bells....

@SteveBeakWeiland

This poem was an exercise in word play. Has nothing to do with madness.

Try to write a poem which coveys the SOUND of the bells he describes and the stages of life the bells represent.(youth, marraige, calamity, death).

This is a very poor reading of this poem.

There are better versions on you tube.

... He may have a bell problem...

[Qrawzseg]

The bells! I hearken them!

They call, and I must answer!

THEY WANT TO TAKE MY EYES!

But where I go, I do

Not need my eyes to see!

THEY WANT ME!!! 0_o

[JubileeAway]

Chaotic but that's what I love about this poem. Poe's interpretation of the bells we all encounter through our lifetime is just alarming as the bells themselves.

[ThePimpsSis]

[Anthonyk312]

a little slow for me. i always read it faster and with a song-like melody. this is kind of monotonic (not entirely though).

[fluksy2000]

Great interpretation!

[TheAlessya]

[zunipus]

My favorite American maniacal genius, out of place in any century. More please.
