Reader's Blog; Israfel

                   "In Heaven a spirit doth dwell "Whose heart-strings are a lute"; None sing so wildly well As the angel Israfel, And the giddy stars (so legends tell), Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell Of his voice, all mute."

- What caught my attention while reading this poem was the incredible amount of imagery you got thanks to all the details that Poe put into the stanzas. You can really picture the angel, Israfel, singing as the rest of the world suddenly quiets down. Kind of like a Kodak moment sort of scene.
