We grew in age- and love- together,
Roaming the forest, and the wild;
My breast her shield in wintry weather-
And when the friendly sunshine smil'd,
And she would mark the opening skies,
I saw no Heaven- but in her eyes.

Young Love's first lesson is- the heart:
For 'mid that sunshine, and those smiles,
When, from our little cares apart,
And laughing at her girlish wiles,
I'd throw me on her throbbing breast,
And pour my spirit out in tears-
There was no need to speak the rest-
No need to quiet any fears
Of her- who ask'd no reason why,
But turn'd on me her quiet eye!

Yet more than worthy of the love
My spirit struggled with, and strove,
When, on the mountain peak, alone,
Ambition lent it a new tone-
I had no being- but in thee:
The world, and all it did contain
In the earth- the air- the sea-
Its joy- its little lot of pain
That was new pleasure- the ideal,
Dim vanities of dreams by night-

Nope. I haven't. Shouldn't need to at this point, either, because claims and actions help figure things out.

What came before is irrelevant to me. I won't taint my objective viewpoint by looking at play and emotions. Those can be faked.

Then I cannot help you.

PoE is the only thing I have, here. And it's what you all have, too, because both you and TierShift seem to be waffling back and forth on whether I'm town or not, and that hesitance alone should be reason enough not to lynch today on a hope and a prayer.

Basically we are trading the chance Ghato is bluffing for the chance either Ghato or Reck scum can endgame tonight then by no lynching, because if this is your defence tomorrow it will be the fasted lylo in history.

Tier/Cat, up to you to decide if the trade is worth it.

I never really was invested in this game in a significant way because the entire game has just sort of played out without me in the way where the lynch was obvious or seemed obvious. Day 1, Lynx lynch was obvious. Day 2, kthx lynch was obvious. Day 3, krystal lynch was obvious. Today, no lynch was obvious. Tomorrow, I won't be in the game anymore.

And I am genuinely sorry for lurking because it would make today a hell of a lot easier than I ended up having any measure of town cred at all but busy + this game giving me every reason to lurk didn't ended up being an atrocious combination.

I'd like for you all to post your reccomended lynches for tomorrow, if it makes a difference who's alive then some scenarios would be helpful, in case you are not around tomorrow.

I'm talking with TSO about this.

I mean, the fact that a redirect wouldn't end the game makes me feel a little better, but it's just like...I really have a hard time seeing Ghato as scum and why take the risk of going to night where we don't know what's going to happen when we could just lynch the last scum now?

If he doesn't, Ghato.

And dimmer nothings which were real-
(Shadows- and a more shadowy light!)
Parted upon their misty wings,
And, so, confusedly, became
Thine image, and- a name- a name!
Two separate- yet most intimate things.

I was ambitious- have you known
The passion, father? You have not:
A cottager, I mark'd a throne
Of half the world as all my own,
And murmur'd at such lowly lot-
But, just like any other dream,
Upon the vapour of the dew
My own had past, did not the beam
Of beauty which did while it thro'
The minute- the hour- the day- oppress
My mind with double loveliness.

We walk'd together on the crown
Of a high mountain which look'd down
Afar from its proud natural towers
Of rock and forest, on the hills-
The dwindled hills! begirt with bowers,
And shouting with a thousand rills.

I spoke to her of power and pride,
But mystically- in such guise
That she might deem it nought beside
The moment's converse; in her eyes
I read, perhaps too carelessly-
A mingled feeling with my own-
The flush on her bright cheek, to me
Seem'd to become a queenly throne
Too well that I should let it be
Light in the wilderness alone.

I wrapp'd myself in grandeur then,
And donn'd a visionary crown-
Yet it was not that Fantasy
Had thrown her mantle over me-
But that, among the rabble- men,
Lion ambition is chained down-
And crouches to a keeper's hand-
Not so in deserts where the grand-
The wild- the terrible conspire
With their own breath to fan his fire.

Spirits of the Dead

Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.

The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.

Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne'er to vanish;
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more, like dew-drop from the grass.

The breeze, the breath of God, is still,
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token.
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!


Day 5 ends in No Lynch!


Night 5 begins now and will end on February 25 at Midnight US Eastern Time.

The anticipations of the shopkeeper were realized, and his rooms soon became notorious through the charms of the sprightly grisette. She had been in his employ about a year, when her admirers were thrown into confusion by her sudden disappearance from the shop. Monsieur Le Blanc was unable to account for her absence, and Madame Rogêt was distracted with anxiety and terror. The public papers immediately took up the theme, and the police were upon the point of making serious investigations, when, one fine morning, after the lapse of a week, Marie, in good health, but with a somewhat saddened air, made her re-appearance at her usual counter in the perfumery. All inquiry, except that of a private character, was of course immediately hushed. Monsieur Le Blanc professed total ignorance, as before. Marie, with Madame, replied to all questions, that the last week had been spent at the house of a relation in the country. Thus the affair died away, and was generally forgotten; for the girl, ostensibly to relieve herself from the impertinence of curiosity, soon bade a final adieu to the perfumer, and sought the shelter of her mother’s residence in the Rue Pavée Saint Andrée.

It was about five months after this return home, that her friends were alarmed by her sudden disappearance for the second time. Three days elapsed, and nothing was heard of her. On the fourth her corpse was found floating in the Seine,* near the shore which is opposite the Quartier of the Rue Saint Andrée, and at a point not very far distant from the secluded neighborhood of the Barrière du Roule.†

The atrocity of this murder, (for it was at once evident that murder had been committed,) the youth and beauty of the victim, and, above all, her previous notoriety, conspired to produce intense excitement in the minds of the sensitive Parisians. I can call to mind no similar occurrence producing so general and so intense an effect. For several weeks, in the discussion of this one absorbing theme, even the momentous political topics of the day were forgotten. The Prefect made unusual exertions; and [page 155:] the powers of the whole Parisian police were, of course, tasked to the utmost extent.

Because of its early placement in Poe's career, the protagonist of "Tamerlane" can be read in many ways as a prototype for the tormented and sorrowful narrators of his later poems and short stories. Like the main characters of "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," and "Ulalume," Tamerlane suffers because of the death of his young and beautiful lover, and he is unable to move away from her memory, instead remaining dependent upon it for the remainder of his life. However, he differs somewhat from these other male characters in that whereas they often lost their beloveds for reasons outside of their control, Tamerlane lost his because of his own errors of judgment..

Day Six of this game will see the completion of Tamarlane and perhaps a few other smaller works.
