Literary Treasure

A Dream Without A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow --
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand --
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep -- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

-Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite poet because he writes about many weird stuff for instance people getting killed and people getting trapped in dungeons. He also talks about what happens to him in his life like him getting married to his cousin.I guess back then it was alright and not nasty to get married to your cousin.Starting his career was not really a success because his poems weren't popular.
This poem from Edgar Allan Poe is about him having these dreams and not having these dreams.Am I making any sense..... I didn't think so.Its about a guy getting a kiss on the forehead from someone.He is having a dream about a women kissing him on the forehead and then the women just starts to leave him which is inside the dream he is having."Take this kiss upon the brow!and, in parting from you now thus much let me avow,you are not wrong , who deem."Let me confess you are not wrong, your opinion.Everything that has just happened "flown away in a night or in a day."
"I stand amid the roar" I stand in the middle of a huge wave trying to save someone.He is standing on the sand getting sand on his hands and then the sand leaves through his hands.
But then again he is imagining that its happening but really it is not happening.I had to look through the dictionary to understand the poem and I had to read the poem over and over again.This poem has very weirds words like brow,avow,amid and deem.

Narratives song lyrics

I am a very funny person and I have a good personality once people get to know me.I try to have a Good life and want to make every second of my life as enjoyable as possible.I have much fun, but when I have to buckle down and do my work I do.Much of the stuff I is very fun stuff.
I like to play alot of sports and like to hear Lil Wayne sick beats and lyrics

"Shawty say she wanna lick the rapper..And she gonna lick the rapperAnd I just wanna act like a porno-flicking actorI (Anita Bake) her, now she caught up in that (Rapture)I got so much chips, I swear they call me Hewlett PackardI got so much chips, you can have a bag if you're a snacker Greedy mutha-fudge cakes, now tell me how dat fudge taste I do it for Bloods' sake, suu-woo think it's voodoo How that roof do di-di-dissipate, your girl wants to participate"


I am not always fun,there was a point of my life were I started to screw up my life like if my life was going South and I wanted it to go North. I was breaking the law and making a fool of myself. I mean I was just so young and I didn't know what I was doing with my life.I was not a bad kid its just that I was faking the "Thug Life" and wanted to be cool. It wasn't like I was Americas Most Wanted,I just wanted to be cool.I was trying to be somebody who I'm really not.

"The Word Is Out You're Doin' Wrong Gonna Lock You Up Before Too Long,Your Lyin' Eyes Gonna Take You Right So Listen Up Don't Make A Fight,Your Talk Is Cheap You're Not A Man You're Throwin' Stones To Hide Your Hands."Michael Jackson-Bad

Vocabulary Narratives - Catastrophe

Catastrophe is a noun and its definition is a sudden and widespread disaster. It can also be any misfortune,mishap, or failure. A catastrophe can be a earthquake just like the one that just happened in Haiti. It can also be that you forgot your homework and without it you cant pass the class. The whole day can be a catastrophe for you. An example in a sentence: The play was so poor our whole evening was a catastrophe. Another example of a catastrophe is 2012. Supposibily in 2012 alot of a angry mother nature will happen such as earthquakes,hurricanes,thunder storms, & tornadoes on December 21,2012. I think that if you believe in the Mayan callender you should quit your job and spend all your money on a huge vacation.Me personally I will go wherever God guides me.I think I'm getting a bit off topic so bottom line Catastrophe is a horrible thing.
