"And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain"
This is a line from Poe's "The Raven". I'm sure everyone is familiar with this poem. It is so rich. I adore the alliteration, in this line especially... silken. sad. uncertain. rustling.... all those s's!
I feel like evryone can appreciat this piece, even people who don't care for poetry. His words just blend so perfectly. You can hear the way they work together without even reading it outloud.
But... read aloud... it is phenomenal... LISTEN
