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.... - The Raven (1845), Edgar Allan Poe

I'm reading through Vonnegut again. I've just finished Slaughterhouse Five, Sirens of Titan, and Bluebeard. Now I'm in Cat's Cradle. I think the last time I read any of these I was in my early thirties. It's amazing how different he reads now that I'm in my fifties! When I was younger it was the raucous humor of his books that I most appreciated. Now what I'm feeling is a real sense of melancholy and loss. He seems so sad...
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
T.S. Eliot
