Excerpt from sonnet 116
william shakespeare
let me not to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments, love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds
or bends with the remover to remove
0. no, it is an ever-fixed mark, 5
that looks on tempests and is never shaken,
it is the star to every wand'ring bark,
whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken
love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
within his bending sickle's compass come: 10
love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
but bears it out even to the edge of doom
it this be error and upon me proved,
i never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman 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 madeline 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. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
