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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
