THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER [1]
_By Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)_
Son coeur est un luth suspendu;
Sitot qu'on le touche il resonne.
--De Beranger.[2]
During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of
the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had
been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of
country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew
on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.
