I appreciate that gesture, Leone.
I will sleep on it, eh? It's late for me, where I am.
Work in the AM too.

Oh Cormy-Pie, you won't take no for an answer.
You're cryptic too, in your posts but
We both have poet hearts.

PROVE IT .... offer me something else besides SORROW and LOSS here .....

The Raven

By Edgar Allan Poe 1809–1849 Edgar Allan 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 mortal 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 a tapping somewhat 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 no 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 I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,

Though 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—

Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,

With such name as “Nevermore.”

But the Raven, sitting lonely on the 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 fancy into smiling,

Straight I wheeled 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—

What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and 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 my 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 God 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 out my heart, 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!

BRAVO, BRAVO, glad we could settle our differences!

Until Lightswayer get back over here, yes, it is currently peace time.

@Sickness (US1) Sorry for leaving you with these ILLUSIONISTS.

By the way THANK YOU!! for you compliments.

[4266625] Noble Leone (ASIA1) [None] :: Jan. 22, 2016, 11:49 p.m.

Mr. Lightswayer, welcome back, ready to negotiate?

[4266634] LightSwayer (US1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:03 a.m.

I always was.

[4266636] Noble Leone (ASIA1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:06 a.m.

Really? Because when I last adressed you with an offer, on this very thread in fact, you fiercely declined in about the rudest manor possible, and every other time we have tried to make peace with you have have harshly refuted us.

[4266638] LightSwayer (US1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:08 a.m.

I don't care, State your offer.

[4266644] Noble Leone (ASIA1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:14 a.m.

We would like to make peace with you so that we can stop this headless rampage across the forums. As this is a Forum War, we cannot offer you supplies as tribute, so basically, we stop arguing, the forums are one step closer to being a nice place. We will forget this whole ordeal and, if you so wish, never mention it again. That is our offer.

[4266646] LightSwayer (US1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:19 a.m.

No, I deny your offer. I'm not going to STOP talking about our issue because it is constant and sickens me. Therefore, No.

Counter Offer. I want Miss BeeBee to apologize to me(Publicly. Then I will stop arguing and I will forget the whole thing. I won't even think about it.

[4266648] Noble Leone (ASIA1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:24 a.m.

Unfortunatly, I'm not sure if her account is still in-use, she has been outside of an alliance for quite some time, and I haven't noticed any noticable growth at her castles. So, that offer is pretty much unsustainable on our part.

[4266649] LightSwayer (US1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:25 a.m.

, No deal then.

WOW you need to go back to the trump skin you really resemble him

XD :P

[4266651] LightSwayer (US1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:30 a.m.

@Coolking4716 (US1) , You truly think that the words that come out of your mouth are worth anything?

Let me make it easier for you : No

LightSwayer (US1) said:

Mr. Lightswayer, I am trying to Negotiate with you, evidently, you never wanted peace in the fist place. You act like Trump in every way imaginable, i'd almost wonder if you are him. But in the meanwhile, remember, that it is your fault that this argument is still going, and even started in the fist place. You are just trying to label the blame on us, but deep down, in the dark confines of your heart, you know that you are wrong, and you know that it is your fault. But you are allowing your ego, and you extremely limited understanding of life to subject you to this fate.

[4266655] LightSwayer (US1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:39 a.m.

My EGO, I have no EGO. This time I know i'm right. Either I get an apology from Miss BeeBee or no "negotiation"

[4266657] Noble Leone (ASIA1) [None] :: Jan. 23, 2016, 12:44 a.m.

Your previous statement proves me right on so many levels.

I have sent a Message to Miss Beebee, if she is till playing, she will respond.

That's proof that you have a GIANT ego people who say they have no ego usually have the biggest ego of all and in this case it's true.
