Please answer need it fast Whenever Richard Cory went down town,

We people on the pavement looked at him:

He was a gentleman from sole to crown,

Clean favored, and imperially slim.

(5) And he was always quietly arrayed,

And he was always human when he talked;

But still he fluttered pulses when he said,

"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich, -- yes, richer than a king, --

(10) And admirably schooled in every grace:

In fine, we thought that he was everything,

To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,

And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;

(15) And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,

Went home and put a bullet through his head.

"something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
