The Raven, Edger Allen Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore --
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door --
Only this and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; -- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow -- sorrow for the lost Lenore --
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore --
Nameless here, for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me -- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;>
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating:
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door --
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;
This it is and nothing more."
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you" -- here I opened wide the door; --
Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" --
Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard the tapping something louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore --
Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery explore; --
"'Tis the wind and nothing more."
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he,
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door --
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door --
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure not craven,
ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore --
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Much a marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Thought its answer little meaning -- little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."
But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered --
Till I scarcely more than muttered: "Other friends have flown before --
On the morrow he will leave me as my Hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore."
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore --
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never -- nevermore.'"
But the Raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling
Straight I wheeling a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore --
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into by bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor
"Wretch," I cried, "thy Good hath lent thee -- by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite -- respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! -- prophet still, if bird or devil! --
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted --
On this home by Horror haunted, -- tell me truly, I implore --
Is there -- is there balm in Gilead? -- tell me -- tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! -- prophet still, if bird or devil! --
By that heaven that bends above us -- by that God we both adore --
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore --
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting --
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! -- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from my hear, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted -- nevermore!

THE TRIBUNAL: -The Tribunal, the focal point of the Tribunal Church, is obviously composed of three members-- the Lord of Wisdom, the Lord of Courage, and the Lord of Power. The Three have decended down through the ages and are among mankind today as a staple of existance, and as a door between the earthly and the celestial. Without the Tribunal, much of the universe would be in disarray. Though there are many 'tribunals' in the Tribunal Church, only the Three are allowed to be referred to as 'The Tribunal'.
THE SAINTS: -The Saints are the people that the Tribunal have ackowledged to be important people, for any reason the Tribunal sees fit. The Saints are made of three echelons:
--High Saints
--Saints
--Low Saint, Hero
THE PROPHETS: -The Prophets are a group of people which the Tribunal feel supernaturally to be directly linked to the gods and heavens. For some reason unbeknownst ot the Tribunal, it is important that a Prophet never to have known a Tribunal member.
Other than these, there are ranks in the Tribunal Church for nonrelated members, and those who wish to follow. The Tribunal is deticated to keeping the order of the universe, commonly in the smallest of ways, such as capturing a leprichaun or making sure a cereal box is properly sealed. If you have any questions or concerns about the Tribunal Church, please email me at kintaeviira@yahoo.com and I will be happy to accomodate you.
Be forewarned-- the Tribunal is not as simple as is written here. There are many things only the Three can understand, and many more only members and dedicated associates of the Tribunal church can comprehend. Be in peace.

haha dude i just noticed that on Lost Zombies, you listed the start date of the zombie outbreak as November 24th, 2008...MY BIRTHDAY!!! THANKS FOR GETTING ZOMBIE BLOOD ON MY CAKE ASSHOLE!!! lol
Thanks for the positive review, but I would hardly call anything I write awesome. We need to hang out eventually. I'm extremely busy this weekend, but next weekend we should go see a movie if you're free.
Hey, I know you don't read your Myspace comments/messages, but I have no other way of reaching you since I'm in bed by the time you get home from work. I just wanted to let you know that Leo and I are coming over tomorrow (Thursday) and we plan on seeing 007 on Saturday night.
It's fine. I wanted to get a picture with Matt and Ethan from Rk, but they weren't out after the show anyway. I have to get a couple cds by Ludo eventually. Do you have any of their cds? Their lead singer was so weird and creepy, but he has a great voice. I don't remember if I told you, but I caught Matt Theissen's pick when he threw it into the crowd.
