Thank you, Vincent Price Legacy, for posting this video of Vincent Price reciting The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. I had another copy of this video on my KZitem playlist and it disappeared somehow. It had a thumbnail picture of Vincent Price widening his eyes. It must have been one of those videos that KZitem deleted from my Watch Later playlist recently. I hope this copy of the video will never be deleted from the KZitem app. Yours truly, Margaret Garnto.

Poe was a tortured man..and thank whatever power that be a man like Vincent Price was here to bring his written words to life.People have no idea of talent these days,Price could speak the greatest poets with no que cards or teleprompters.

He appears to have done it from memory. It amazes me that he was able to memorize as much of it as he did. Not surprising that he made a few mistakes. I suppose they could have done multiple takes and edited it, but it was probably done for network TV and they didn't consider it important enough to put that much work into it. Do you know what show this was done for?

The analysis of this masterpiece could take volumes. What I don’t understand is how T.S. Eliot didn’t get it. Eliot criticized the repetitious narrative, but he was clueless that when a person is depressed racing thoughts of death and despair keep repeating the same thing, like a reoccurring living nightmare. One not only hears them, but can feel and taste the decay of one’s soul.

Thanks for posting: this keeps disappearing from KZitem. I can easily believe that this poem is based on a nightmare Poe actually had: in dreams, it's remarkable how something as subtle as a bird's appearance can freak you out quite badly. Add in the layers of dark symbolism that Poe used in transcribing it, and small wonder that the effects were so disturbing!

Love this and Vincent Price as always was amazing. I could listen to his voice for days! I don't see why they felt to need to make a few small yet noticeable changes to the words... why tamper with a masterpiece.

I remember back in high school reading this poem and it creeped me a little. What really creeped me out was after school when I was in my room doing my homework. Guess what was tapping at my window? Okay, it was really just a crow that was tearing up my window screen probably for pieces for a nest or maybe he was just pecking at his reflection, but all the same, that really gave me the willies to find a 'raven' tapping at my window.

If you ever wondered what major Depression feels like; this is it. Lenore, his love is dead. If you consider his wife, his ‘better half,’ dead: part of him is dead. Notice how the raven is “Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above” his “chamber door.” His chamber being his privacy-his inner self, is guarded by a demon that pierce’s his heart with its beak and there’s nothing that Pallas can do. People may tell him to pray, that God will help him, but the raven tells him ‘never more.’

I also thought to add to this - if we look at it as the narrator knowing halfway through (ish) that perhaps this is the only word the raven knows - his questions create his own misery. When you one has major depression they tend to swallow themselves up with it whether or not unwittingly.

Thanks for posting, I love Vincent Price! He's a wonderful man with such an interesting voice. PS I hope you don't mind, but I extracted the audio from this video, and used it in an animation. If you mind, by all means let me know but I made sure to credit you in the description. I'll only post the link upon request, since i'm not here to spam :) thanks again!

he certainly did a very good job, but, indeed, there are actually more than a few changes in the wording... i count at least eleven differences from poe's poem. he even messed up the line: "'Lenore' / This I whispered, and an echo..." he says "And I whispered back, and an echo..."

@davedavedaveannoy1 I disagree. While the regal majesty of James Earl Jones is interesting, I think it lacks the frantic madness that Vincent Price imbues into the piece. His reading of this piece --to me, at any rate-- is quite not dark nor eerie. Price expresses Poe's drear.

I doubt he did it on purpose. When stories are passed in oral tradition, words get changed. I have to go back to text to re-read The Raven pretty often, or I accidentally change words, and I perform it from memory several times a week. I love Vincent Price and it's terrific to watch, but I don't really enjoy his pacing of the piece.
@Jackies1979
11 жыл бұрын
yes, i should hope, he didn't do THAT on purpose... because he changed a lot of words with the result that the changes make little sense, e.g. the line i just quoted... or "THUS i sat engaged in guessing"... what the hell should he have guessed then?? it is a reversed "THIS", not a "THUS"!! "THIS i sat engaged in guessing"

no, he didn't... the guy is just nuts... never known someone who was in depression? the poem is insincere and complacent, as yeats said... and poe actually did too, the raven is not the devil or something like that, but the symbol of never-ending bad memories and sorrows....
