Pádraig Ó TuamaHOST
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe 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 someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Maggie SmithHOST
Thank God it can't drag you around anymore except in nightmares, late-night reruns where you lift up the lid and crawl out once more and start up the hill toward the house.

Kindness by Yusef Komunyaka When deeds splay before us precious as gold And unused chances stripped from the wine bone We know the moment kind-heartedness walks in Each praise be echoes us back As the years uncount themselves Eating salt Though blood first shaped us on the climbing wheel, the human mind, lit by the savannah's ice star and thistle rose, your knowing gaze enters a room and opens the day, saying we were made for fun.
Michael StuhlbargVOICE_ACTOR
Even the bedazzled brute knows when sunlight falls through leaves across honed knives on the table.
Joe RileyHOST

But I've always leant towards this poem.
SteveGUEST
I can't read it word for word or anything like that, but if somebody does ask me about a poem that kind of does stick with me, it always comes along with the 1912 Titanic tag, but it's this one, so...
Joe RileyHOST
I think as well, what you were saying there about the dream being a prominent one and giving you some sort of closure, I do think at the very end of this, there is closure of sorts, because I'm just going to go back to, I say standard, it's all written in one continuous standard here, which does, at least that's how the Poetry Foundation have laid it out.
Joe RileyHOST
But it's the, tell them I came and no one answered that I kept my word, he said.
