Send us Fan Mail Welcome to The Lonesome October episode of this three podcast episode series regarding Edgar Allan Poe. NIGHT WATCHMAN: October has a sound. NIGHT WATCHMAN: It is the dry whisper of leaves pursuing one another along the pavement. NIGHT WATCHMAN: It is the branch that touches the window after midnight. NIGHT WATCHMAN: It is a footstep that may be yours—or may be keeping pace with yours. POE: You promised me Ulalume. NIGHT WATCHMAN: Good evening to you too, Mr. Poe. POE: You ended our conversation at the threshold of the poem and then departed. NIGHT WATCHMAN: That is called suspense. POE: I am familiar with the device. NIGHT WATCHMAN: I thought you might be. POE: And I have been standing here all day while visitors pointed at me and said, “He looks so sad.” NIGHT WATCHMAN: What did you expect them to say? POE: “He looks intellectually formidable” would provide variety. NIGHT WATCHMAN: Tomorrow I will put it on a sign. POE: See that you do.
