Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- There, in front of me, stood the House of Usher. And at once, I do not known why, a strange feeling of deep glow came down on me and cover me like a blanket.
- Why did the House of Usher make me feel so sad?
- I looked more carefully at the building in front of me. It was, indeed, very old and I noticed that every stone had cracks and holes in it.
- This is a dream.
- While he was speaking, Madeleine passed slowly through the back of the long room and, without noticing me, disappeared.
- "My sister is seriously ill. Her death will leave me alone in the word, the last of all the Ushers."
- "The House of Usher itself is like a living thing. When the walls where first built, life went into the stones themselves and year after after year it has grown stronger. Even the air around the walls and above the lake has its own life, and belongs to the house. Don't you see how the stones and the air have shaped the lives of the Usher family?"
- These ideas were too fantastic for me, and I could not answer him.
- "You mustn't, no, you must not watch this. It's only a storm, and the cold night air will be dangerous to your health. Let's close the window and read together. Look, here's one of your favorite books. I will read to you, and you can listen, and so we will pass this terrible night together."
- For a moment she stood there shaking, moving slowly from side to side. Then with a low cry she fell heavily onto her brother. And in the moment of her now final death, he fell with her to the floor. A dead man, killed by his own terror.
