The fall of the House Of Usher
1. "a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible."
2. In the 6th line of "The fall of the house of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, he says when Edgar first saw the building "a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit." He gets a feeling of sadness that affects his spirit. Poe also says the naturalness of the sight of the building gives him a vivid picture.
3. In the passage " The fall of the house of Usher" Edgar Allan Poe says " There was an iceness, a sickening of the heart/an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime." The second line is just saying you can't make the thought good, it's just a descriptive way of saying it. The thought just keeps annoying him, its overwhelming.
4. In " The fall of the house of usher" Poe just tells us in the beginning that he was on his horse on a dark afternoon in the fall. He sees a building that belongs to the Ushers.
5. In the passage it explains that Poe is on his horse on a afternoon, and he sees the building that belongs to the family called the ushers. He starts to describe in many different words, from the walls to the windows bring a strong feeling of sadness to him. Poe also describes a bit of the surroundings. He also starts to question why did he get this feeling. He starts to get curious.
6. Poe is walking towards the building of the house of the Ushers, in a afternoon in fall. He gets such a strong feeling that he is feeling depressed and starts questioning why.
