Imitation Edgar Allan Poe – 1809-1849 A DARK unfathom’d tideOf interminable pride -A mystery, and a dream,Should my early life seem;I say that dream was fraughtWith a wild, and waking thoughtOf beings that have been,Which my spirit hath not seen,Had I let them pass me by,With a dreaming eye!Let none of earth inheritThat vision on my spirit;Those thoughts I would control,As a spell upon his soul:For that bright hope at lastAnd that light time have past.And my worldly rest hath goneWith a sigh as it pass’d on:I care not tho’ it perishWith a thought I then did cherish. From Tamerlane by Edgar Allan Poe

Half of my family is Irish – the Martin’s – so I thought I’d post some Irish poems and blessings today. “St. Patrick was a gentlemanWho through strategy and stealthDrove all the snakes from IrelandHere’s a drinkee to his health!But not too many drinkeesLest we lose ourselves and then…Forget the good St. PatrickAnd see them snakes again!” Quoted by Quotes Hunger “I’ll wear a four-leaf shamrockIn my coat, the glad day throughFor my father and mother are IrishAnd I am Irish too!” Mary Carolyn Davies A famous blessing we all know. “May the road rise up to meet you.May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face;the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again,May God hold you in the palm of His hand.” Author unknown “May you always have work for your hands to do.May your pockets hold always a…

Guillermo del Toro’s latest film Nightmare Alley is an intense, dark drama that packs a punch of an ending. Guillermo del Toro is one of our favorite directors and writers. Known for his dark stories and frightening scenes. Here are some of his films (not his complete filmography): DirectorHellboyPan’s LabyrinthThe Devil’s BackbonePacific RimThe Shape of Water WriterScary Stories to Tell in the Dark (highly recommend for a spook show)Crimson PeakNightmare AlleyThe Hobbit: The Battle of the Five ArmiesThe Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug ProducedEl Orfanato which we reviewed earlier on the blog. You can find the review here. Also, highly recommend this spooky, supernatural ghost story. Two summaries of Nightmare Alley to start us off. An ambitious carny with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words hooks up with a female psychiatrist who is even more dangerous than he is.Source: IMDB.com By the time a mystifying Bradley Cooper utters…

There may be posts without pictures permanently as it’s hard to recreate 3 years’ worth of work, however, I am doing my best. Please pardon the inconvenience and I hope you’ll still visit the site.
