Thanks PDG. Hey I was wondering - the poem states "Back into the chamber turning, all my sour within me burning". Did they mean to write "soul"? looks like a typo, just wondering.

I don't think so. The R and L's are too far apart on the keyboard...lol. But I'll look into it.

all my sour within me burning".
"Sour" seems right here - probably referring to a sour pit of the stomach or heartburn - angst translating into a physical effect. Sound likely?

I think sour is a synonym for bitterness, not sure but it fits well if you replace sour with bitterness.

Though sour might fit, it is a typo. Actually it is more than likely a scanning error where the ocr picked up the 'l' as an 'r'. Since sour is a word the spellcheck program would bypass it.

The line should read: "Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning."

As long as we're on the subject of spelling the name should be Edgar Allan (not Allen) Poe.
