Read the excerpt from Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher." Shaking this off with a gasp and a
struggle, I uplifted myself upon
the intense darkness of the chamber, hearkened -- I
the pillows, and, peering earnestly within
know not why, except that an instinctive spirit prompted
me -- to certain low and indefinite sounds which came,
through the pauses of the storm, at long intervals, I
knew not whence. Overpowered by an intense sentiment of horror, unaccountable yet unendurable, I threw on
my clothes with haste.
