- A reading of one of Poe's most bizarre tales of obsession. Vincent Price shows admirable restraint, I think, given the sheer intensity of the Gothic weirdness on display here.
The Latin epigraph translates as: 'My companions said to me, if I would visit the grave of my friend, I might somewhat alleviate my worries.' - Zábava
One of my personal favorites! "Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of today, or the agonies which are have their origins in the ecstasies which might have been". Good God, the misery and madness is extreme!
I'm a Lovecraft fan and certainly he has his moments. But NO ONE else to date - in either prose or poetry - can create mood and atmosphere with the artistry and mastery of Poe!
Don't leave out M.R. James and Algernon Blackwood
@@billybatchelor2863 indeed! Well noted.
I love his voice
Amongst the true inspirations of CZcams for a channel as mine. This ending creeped me out the most the first time.
Latin most important to comprehend “Berenice”.Superior Presentation.
