Welcome to
Edgar Allan Poe
from
THE TELL-TALE HEART
The Various Ramblings of a MadMan
Version 4.0
``True!-nervous-very, very, dreadfully nervous I had been and
am! but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had
sharpened my senses-not destroyed- not dulled them. Above
all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in
the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell.
How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily-how
calmly I can tell the whole story.''
