I, like Carla, read Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe. I completely agree with her in how you can hear someone actually reciting the poem as it is being read. I too noticed the slight possible connection that could occur between this particular poem and Romeo and Juliet. Personally, my favorite part of this poem though personally is why he perceives that his Annabel Lee was lost to him. Although he realizes that she was killed by the cold I find it interesting that he blames the envy of the angels for sending the cold in the first place. I have to admit though in Carla's favorite verse I am curious to know exactly why the parentheses are included unless it is simply to continue the rhythm of the poem and make it rhyme.
