20. Thinking about the 1990s brings back a lot of memories for
me about fashion and popular culture. During the 1990s, I
really enjoyed watching Friends on television every
Thursday night. I really wanted Rachel’s haircut—I think
every girl wanted Rachel’s haircut back then! Rachel’s
haircut went really well with the Guess Jeans that were so
popular in the 1990s. I remember all the advertisements for
Guess and Calvin Klein Jeans that were in each month’s
Sassy magazine. I don’t think Sassy magazine exists
anymore, but it was one of the most popular magazines for
young women in the 1990s.

84. Annabel Lee
By: Edgar Allan Poe

85. Edgar Allan Poe
(born January 19,
1809,
Boston, Massachusetts
—died October 7,
1849, Baltimore,
Maryland

88. Anabelle Lee
Analysis

89. "Annabel Lee" is the last poem composed
by Edgar Allan Poe, one of the foremost
figures of American literature.
It was written in 1849 and published not
long after the author's death in the same
year. It features a subject that appears
frequently in Poe's writing: the death of a
young, beautiful woman.

90. The poem is narrated by Annabel Lee's
lover, who forcefully rails against the
people—and supernatural beings—who
tried to get in the way of their love.
Ultimately, the speaker claims that his
bond with Annabel Lee was so strong
that, even after her death, they are still
together.

91. Maiden Winged seraphs
coveted Highborn kinsmen
bore sepulchre envying
dissever Night-tide

92. “Annabel Lee” Vocabulary
Maiden
A maiden is a young woman, but the word can also
refer to her state of maidenhood—
that is, being a virgin.

93. Coveted
To covet something is to desire it
strongly. Here, it also calls to mind
the ninth Commandment from the
Bible: "Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's wife."

94. Winged Seraphs
These are angels.

95. High born
This is slightly ambiguous. It could mean
family members of Annabel Lee, who are of
high social class. Or it could be a reference to
the angels: "highborn" because they come
from heaven, and "kinsmen" because
Annabel Lee is herself angelic.

96. Bore in this instance just
means "took" or "carried."

97. Sepulcher
A small room or tomb
in which a dead person
is laid to rest.

98. sepulchres

99. Envying
This means the angels were
actively jealous of the
speaker and Annabel Lee.

100. Dissever
This means to divide or
separate.

101. Beams
Beams means "shine," but it
also has a suggestion of
smiling (as in the face of the
moon).

102. Night-tide
This means the night-time,
and it also plays on the
mentions of the sea.

103. Annabel Lee
By Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
Many years ago, there was a
kingdom by the sea. In this
kingdom lived a young woman
called Annabel Lee, whom the
speaker suggests the reader
might know. According to the
narrator, Annabel Lee's only ever
thought about the love between
them.

104. I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was
more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd
seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
They were both children, but their
love went well beyond what love
can normally be. In fact, this love
was so special that the angels of
heaven were jealous and desirous of
it.

105. And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
For that reason, back then, Annabel
Lee was killed by wind from a
cloud. She was then taken away by
people the narrator calls "highborn
kinsmen," who could be the angels
or Annabel Lee's own family
members. They enclosed her in a
tomb, still within the same kingdom.

106. The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men
know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by
night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
Retrospectively, the speaker
believes that the angels, unhappy in
heaven and envious of the love
between him and Annabel
Lee, caused the wind that killed her.

107. But our love it was stronger by far
than the love
Of those who were older than
we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven
above
Nor the demons down under the
sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the
soul
Their love, says the speaker, was
more powerful than the love
between people older and wiser
than them. Furthermore, no angel
from heaven or demon under the sea
could ever separate his soul from
Annabel Lee's.

108. For the moon never beams, without bringing
me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright
eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the
side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and
my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
Every time the moon shines, it brings
the speaker dreams of his
beloved. When the stars rise, he can
sense her sparkling eyes. Every night
the speaker lies down alongside
Annabel Lee—whom he calls his
"life" and "bride"—in her tomb, with
the sound of the sea coming from
nearby.
