Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer and poet who invented the modern detective story and created enduring tales of horror.
His infamous short poem 'A Dream Within A Dream' questions the nature of reality and human existence. The poet states that his life is merely a dream within a dream. Although sad, he knows that nothing in life is tangible or permanent. Everything he possesses has to come to an end.
You can hear and feel the beauty even in a mind full of pain. That's why life is always precious.
No slither of sadness or disappointment can dim the real light within.
Given your excellent word-smithing, you’re either from the UK or Ireland, or an exceptionally gifted American. Kudos on the comment.
Can anyone tell me the name of the man reading this?

Your voice is such a painful and motivational to me.

"As a child, I was afraid of the dark and the monsters on the outside.
As a man, I run away from the light, afraid to show the monsters within."
Fear not and run faster for light was always with you
What a marvelous saying brother! I appreciate it from India.

To tame the wild beast within us all a burden, but the onus a bonus to feast for the Dragon's tale is spurred on by a thirst first to quench, before a hunger or war & gossip monger.
Slay the animalistic attributes with manners of altruistic roots, running deep encumbered by sleep, while wide awake for goodness sake and resolute reason we keep.
I remember a friend in school who once told me he was reading Poe and I laughed at him. I remember he used to get bullied and would smell and for sure had a terrible home life. We were vague friends and he was insanely smart and kind and wore one of the sweetest smiles I've seen. A smile that when I remember it makes me weep. Taren is a beautiful person.
You saw the diamond in the rough,you should tell him the impact they left on you, they'd remember you always for it.
I feel so sad for him , hope he is doing well 😢
The irony of the story is Taron cut off the friendship cos Lizard smelled..........
I do not understand why reading Poe could be laughable for anyone? Even as a youngster?
@@vintagemoods In my experience, many young people can't appreciate spoken poetry because it is often about one's life experience, of which they have very little experience navigating. I hardly appreciated poetry until recently, I tried my hand at it a few times when I was much younger, but could only ever muster limericks, or anaphora. I even chastised myself for not being great at it. Now I see the beauty in all forms of artistic philosophy.

I came across this very quote you put 5 years ago at least. Sooo deep and true
Absolutely mesmerised by this poem. Heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.
Brilliant writer and awesome reading.

Ah, Edgar Allan Poe.
He is still one of my absolute favourite "Poe"ts. :D
He was undoubtedly a great poet.
Mine too. My all-time favourite is "Alone".
I see what you did right there
He is oh so Poe’tic
Ay, he is one of the little known gems of our past. To be savoured as much as possible, before he is lost to a lost generation
"It may take a year, it might take a day. But what's meant to be will always find its way."
Doubt that I'm 38 and in this Apocalypse
In other words, "what's meant to be is, well... meant to be". Not the most consoling tautological message to hear if you happen to find yourself amongst the majority meant to live a mundane and/ or tragic existence, or worse.
I have thought about that for years.
@@gravitytracer To an extent, life is what you make it. Fortune favors the bold and tenacity is a determining factor in one's own destiny. If you are living a mundane existence and you refuse to change it, you've no-one to blame but yourself.
Not bad...not bad at all... 😎

Thats just it... And the secret to getting started is LIVING NOW
And still do it despite the failures
Of course, learning from the failures
Reliving Poetry Life, we all know has ups and downs so when yr realistic you know failures you must see as, something to Learn from 💫
That is... after about one hour or more, of sorrow over it.💫😊
"But a dream within a dream."

He’s speaking about what psychedelics does to you.. at the peak your hands feels very sandy and tingles a lot.. when it kicks in you feel as though you are awaken for the first time and that life in itself is just a dream.. the tormented shore is the place you get though when trying to figure out your life that’s part of the introspection.. and the soul that he’s trying to save is getting someone to believe him and his experience.. if he tried explaining it they’d say he’s a mad man..

You are so right. Momento Morti.
@@angelitowest5670 Sir, Where you from ? And what's mean by memanto morti
Muhammad Rizwan Ayub
Good Morning, I’m in New York City now and you? Momento Mori ( I spelled wrong earlier ) is Latin/Greek and its a Stoic Philosophy or a consent reminder in life to always remember that inevitably you will die. In plain English it’s to say live life to its fullest don’t waste it , every minute is a gift.
Btw Stoicism is something I practice daily . It’s been around since 300 BC and still used by many today. Google it. Stay positive my friend.

Also I am Cuban but living in America since 5 years old. Btw I’ve been to Poe’s house in Up state NY he lived the life of a tormented alcoholic.
Right🤝
Mark Twain gets credit as the first great American writer, the one who brought us to the world stage. But I’ve alway said it was Poe. He is known for some 15 stories of horror and madness and scant selection of his poetry but he was so much more. It work as a crisis is beautiful prose. He wrote far more comedies and dramas than horror. He pioneered the detective story (sorry Doyle) and he pioneered science fiction (sorry Wells). And he was a master essayist. His work in the craft itself is also inspiring. Any writer of any genre who dares encapsulates their works entire feeling and sensation in one single opening line owes scent of gratitude to this man. You are forever and always my eternal muse Mr. Poe and I thank you greatly
Completely agree with everything you've said and I absolutely adore everything Poe has created with that brilliant mind of his.
However, I'd like to advocate for Mary Shelley as the pioneer of science fiction.... rather than The Modern Prometheus I think it is her post apocalyptic vison in The Last Man that should give her the credit.
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow -
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand -
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Poe was a strange individual, but he was fully aware that he was different. He wrote about it in poems such as "All I loved I loved alone". Most of us have eccentricities but aren't aware of what they are, only others see them. Poe was gifted to see himself as he truly was. I suppose we are all strange, it's our commonality, but to face it is divine.
"I luv u as much as death
But neither i can get
I'm alive ,you may think
But my soul is already dead
My tears slowly pours and gets dry on my skin
No one can see us
No one in between us
How beautiful my tear is
Hw beautiful my love is
This pain reminds me of you
So i made my self addicted
Cause i don't want to forget
I 'm a lucky man
As im dying from the pain my love is giving
How beautiful my death is
How beautiful my love is"
This is one of my poem hope you all like it

Last night when ppl were sleeping, I put 2 hours into what I really want. I do this most nights.
It is amazing to me that a man with such torment, such tragedy and pain throughout his life could create such beautiful, sublime poetry. Poe's poems are eternal.
That’s honestly where the best work comes from, pain, experience etc.

There's no poetry without Poe
I really actually felt that and it’s beauty
Excellent recitation of a great poem by the master in my opinion. Like Beethoven is to music, Poe is to the written word.
The voice with those heavy words are just...Wooow😍
He has a very rich, sonorous voice, but no one ever trained him on oration, or the reading of verse. He came to a downward inflection at the end of each, and every line in the poem, despite the thought not yet being complete. It is a major elementary principle in reading poetry (or prose, as well) that while the writer (the poet, in this instance) may even capitalize the first word of each succeeding line (as in many poems), the "sentence" is not complete until one sees the period (which means the thought is now complete). Until the period appears, one must hold an upward inflection in the voice at the end of each line in order to sustain the thought being expressed, until reaching that end point in the sentence (signified, even as in prose, by a period). And that principle holds doubly important when arriving at the end of a question posed within a poem (or prose). Even in this instance, the "orator" here chose to come to a complete declarative stop in the thought by incorporating a downward inflection at the end of the first question posed in the poem. It became a declaration of an idea rather than a question posed to the reader. He clearly is untrained as an orator, or reader of poetry. He is "getting by" on a good deep voice, but loses significantly in the impact of his reading by failing to learn the basic principles of oratory. These same principles apply to giving any kind of a speech, and holding the audience's attention within the sentence by sustained upward vocal inflection, until coming to the end of a sentence.
If you listen to the speeches given by George W. Bush in the first months after his first election victory, you can hear this principle most clearly, as he was not able to hold his thought past two to three words within a sentence. After the Sept 11 disaster "someone" realized that his speeches needed to be "fixed" by teaching him to speak "all the words within a single thought" before coming to the end of his sentences. His speeches became far more comprehensible after that period, and for the remainder of his presidency, though he surely remained a first class dunce, and mere puppet of Cheney and the other overlords within the oligarchic power structure. He was merely more understandable in his stupidity.
The music. Oh, the music. If someone can tell me the background music, I'll forever be grateful...

I cannot get enough of Edgar Allan Poe.
Oh my.. I often times catch myself re-listening to Poe. This is one of my favorites I play because I can connect with this so much.. I’m just a 24yr old with a progressive & terminal neuromuscular disease with a mind beyond understanding, a mind that’s all there but the physical is a prison that I live in daily. I have a passion todo so much career wise and it’s all taken by this disease rapidly progressing. I’m afraid that all of my dreams are just a dream within a dream..
My Grandpa died today. And with eyes covered in tears I write this, because of the memory of man, who is no more.
Thank you Grandpa, we love you.
This is a little late, but I'm sorry for your loss. My father has been gone for over twenty years and just the other day I had a dream about him and woke up crying repeating the words"I miss him,I miss him". This pain is something all people share, it's one of the things that binds us.
Do you remember the great line from No Man is an Island? "Any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind".
I wish you a long life filled with happy memories of your grandpa. 🙏♥️
MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO U, SOMETIMES WE GOT TO GIVE OUT THE PAIN WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN OUR LIFES. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STRANGERS I CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN. MAY(GOD) COMFORT U IN YOUR LOSS. MAY YOUR GRANDFATHER(REST IN PEACE). MAY ALL YOUR FAMILY BE SURE TO PRAY FOR YOUR DEPARTED GRANDFATHER. SO HIS BE AT PEACE.
Open your eyes to the beauty around you. Open your mind to the wonders of life. Open your heart to those who love you. Open your Eyes and Dream. And may all your good dreams come true 🖖
Only Edgar Allan Poe could compose an Edgar Allan Poem.
Wow. This is very beautiful. What a soothing voice Shane Morris has, and over such pleasant music. I'm looking forward to hearing and reading more poetry that moves me like this.
I don't like his voice at all. It's rough, it grates ...like sandpaper. No offense meant, just saying what it sounds like, - to me.
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
~Edgar Allan Poe
GOD’S POETS !
The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
How they think is universal
For its God who makes them so smart.
Most poets tell the truth of life
Though they may wrap it in beauty.
It's their passion, not their purpose
To compose is but their duty.
Poets have no reason to lie
When the truth is always so clear.
All that others say and do
Is but food for the poet's ear.
One merit of a poet's work
Which most cannot deny.
They say more and in fewer words
To illuminate you and I.
God sent His poets down to Earth
With words of wisdom and of worth.
That they might touch the souls of men
And bring them back to Him again.
Love carries us through difficulties
We could never endure on our own.
Courage enables us to prosper in life
As the seeds of our faith are sown.
THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !

Poe, while interviewing for a job with President Tyler, diverted from the interview to sell him a subscription to his magazine.
He never gave up on his dream, and we are all better off for it.
Poetry life. I love fine art literature! Powerful!
Why we only praise people once they die? A dead person needs prayers not praises.
Thank you so much for posting. Edgar Allan Poe is truly one of a kind.
His artful use of vocabulary flowed from his pen to paper, creating vivid masterpieces of literature like Michael Angelo's masterful brush strokes of paint on plaster, delivered his vivid visions .
Peace, love, and blessings

I thank the person who spoke these lines for having spoken them; but that rendition was a passionless refusal of passion. Edgar Allen's poetry sings - do not make it sound like last Saturday's' unattended eulogy.
“A Dream Within A Dream

This poem always makes me emotional!!!
One tiny grain- so insignificant- and yet full of hope and life
Amazing- the power and imagery in this poem and the sad voice...
Life is an illusion that we can never fully comprehend because of our physical, emotional and intellectual limitations.
Faith, love and compassion are our allies in the journey of life.

RIP Dear Precious, Tormented, Beautiful Soul.
this is the best poetry ive ever seen
Were you been doing voice overs in the past or you just natural? Or you been practicing a lot to reach that level of expression, I am truly impressed your voice sounds like from Lord of the rings or similar big scale movies It would be amazing to hear some tips on how to improve your voice many thanks I am a fan of your work.
Just a random quote :
"KINDNESS IS FREE, BUT IT'S PRICELESS ".
I hope i have made your day at least a little positive :)
Poe was quite deep!🤔🤔🤔👍
If you are grieving - you are not alone. Feel the pain, accept the pain. And don’t forget - this, is also just a dream.
Just like a "play within the play". Listened to it after a long time. Beautiful recitation. I have always admired British recitation. But this American TH-cam channel has truly changed my thinking. May it is but a dream within the dream.
maybe you are right
We are a Thought in The Mind of God
I was reading Poe as a kid.
I read a lot when I was a child.
My days in my room, yes I did.
My time as alone was not wild.
Time grows and goes, mine alone
Though I knew my time was my own.
The odd side of a old soul, there was
no other like me, now that I scroll.
I search. I learn. I... do this for me.
I am an Old Soul as one can be.
I even wrote a poem about dreaming and who is the one... dreaming.
Poor soul. He never succeeded at drinking away his demons.

I had a book of Poes poetry from grade 5 it always stick with me even though it might have been to heavy fir me to grasp at that age.
Poe was the essence of troubled genius who could manipulate words so beautifully. I miss teaching his works.
Not a big fan of poetry but I love this one. Thank you NCT for introduced me to this ❤❤❤
Shane Morris is the best reader period!
Formed out of fancy imaginations, capturing the inner emotions, what a poem!
Nice
Long time ago Edgar AP made this poem.. yet
What I wonder is... Will it make any difference if its true as he suggested.. ?? Don’t think so.
As the human mind can only grasp what it can and thats enough for us to think about..
No need for fear too much, questioning the lot..
just try and learn the Art of living your life to the full NOW, as NOW is IT,
Is ALL🌞💫💥👌❤️🌹

I dont know if you read the comments, but could you please also make some videos about middle eastern philosophers like al ghazali or mevlana rumi. They also have beautiful quotes which helped me in life and in my mother tongue we have a saying which goes like:
You should always take wisdom, no matter where it comes from. Thanks in advance.
This is so beautiful! Thank you
I enjoyed the cadence even though its not how I've read it in my mind.
I bought a book of his poems in oh, fourth or fifth grade book fair I still remember all of them( I'm 40 now).
I was introduced to this poem by a German 1980s band called Propaganda, it is still one of my favourite tunes to this day
I want to know the background music ..

RESILIENCE.
When Faith seems dead and Love is gone,
Still Hope persists, my life goes on.
I treasure Hope while I survive,
For Love will come with Faith alive.
Along New Street, I look and stop --
Love escorts Faith and both meet Hope.
My past restrained, my future free --
For Faith, Love and Hope are in me.
I remember this in school
But now this is everywhere in Ncity
This very wise man had been there .he knew the truth..I read his poetry at a very young age..not always knowing what it meant.. I finally got it it.thank .now I gotta look up The Raven.

So beautiful and genius and touching 💝🙏🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
With broken limbs and torn flesh he stumbles on just before death. Uncertain of his fate and wishing no ill omens, he dropped to his knees just before home. His breaths ragged and desperate he's lost in his own mind, already he knows he has been left behind. The voices scream in his head begging him to commit one last deed, already he serves as Satan's steed. The throats have been cut, the rounds have been spent and now he lays dying and bent. He has done what they asked and is losing his life, but the voices told lies as cold as ice. Desperate and crying he clings to his heart beat, but it fades and takes a seat. Stumbling he falls a face full of dirt, a deep brown mixing with the blood on his shirt. He thinks back on his life full of pain and abandonment, like a unending blow with lethal intent. A mother-slaying father, an abusive drunk priest, these are the things that hurt him the least. The "Friends" the "Loves" all not but lies, the promises of great things, that happiness will arise. These were what he should have earned but he set about wrong, and now behind him a blood trail just to long. So he tells himself that he did his best, in a futile attempt to get the weight taken off his chest. The tears continue to pour, but no result will come only the end, of his heart's thrum thrum thrum.
They now call the dreamlike reality, derealization disorder. Like many, he inspired me in a myriad of ways. I remember as a child I would have The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe and the dictionary side by side.( He had a skill with the lexicon and words Id never even heard of was frequent d0_ob) I suppose in a way, he was a teacher to me by proxy! That shows how powerful words can be, HE taught ME from beyond the confines of life itself! d>_0b (also, when I started my portrait collection of the greatest influences of my development, he was in the top 3)
Is so very beautiful!!! 💚

SHAKESPEARE 1564 - 1616
Shakespeare, perhaps the greatest writer in history
In his day was known as a master of good plays.
The theater gave him the freedom to create
And in turn he put hearts and souls a blaze.
Far from the world of the stage
Shakespeare was born in April of 1564.
In the little English town called Stratford
With several sisters and brothers after and before.
All the boys went to the same grammar school
As soon as they could read and write.
Where the only subject taught was Latin
Which was of little use to those born bright.
At 18 he married a woman named Anne Hathaway
Who was 8 years older than he.
The daughter of a neighboring farmer
Who bore his children, with twins, made three.
In 7 years he was a successful actor
After starting his career at 21.
Only the best actors found work in London
And by the grace a God Shakespeare was one.
Many actors of the period were playwrights
And Shakespeare was one of the best.
His greatest success was Henry VI,
Which placed him above the rest.
Shakespeare turned to another kind of writing
When because of a plague London theaters had to close.
He wrote two narrative poems greatly admired by the critics
Though to be famous as a poet, he never wanted or chose.
He instead, turned back to the life of the stage
As soon as the theaters reopened again.
He joined an acting company until he retired
Writing plays for the Chamberlain’s Men.
Shakespeare died in 1616
And was buried in his local church back home.
Where he had been baptized 52 years before
He lies in his grave silent and alone.

In all things of nature there is something of beauty. For everything that happens and for all that will happen, accept it for what it is and make the best use of your time, that way, you won't waste your time worrying about what will come or regret the actions that you didn't take from your past as you are being present.
