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 this 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 this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmen 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 one 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 many far wiser than we -
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the 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 there by the sea -
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Edgar Allan Poe
His arms smelled of salt and saltiness. Made her mind the sea. Often they had spent the night lying on rocks counting the stars. He loved sleeping on her. Loved waking up in those arms with seafood and summer. His tanned skin contrasting with the pale of her. Were one the other projection. They lived in fits and starts, almost by accident, but without hesitation or mental brakes. Signs on their back of each moment spent together but they could not be distant. Fire and ice. Good and evil. Smile and tear. Life kept them distant. But they loved sleeping upon.
Le sue braccia profumavano di sale e salsedine. Le facevano venire in mente il mare. Spesso avevano passato la notte stesi sugli scogli a contare le stelle. Amava dormirle addosso. Amava svegliarsi tra quelle braccia al sapore di mare e d'estate. La sua pelle abbronzata contrastava con quella pallida di lei. Erano l'uno la proiezione dell'altra. Si vivevano a singhiozzo, quasi per sbaglio, ma senza remore o freni mentali. Si portavano addosso o segni di ogni istante passato insieme eppure non potevano starsi lontani. Fuoco e ghiaccio. Bene e male. Sorriso e lacrima. La vita li teneva lonani. Ma loro amavano dormirsi addosso.
