In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,īy the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells.

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wellsįrom the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. What a world of merriment their melody foretells! Courtesy: The Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia.
