Valentine and Proteus travelled to Milan, Valentine's father sent him to take a position in the Duke of Milan's court, but proteus did not like leaving his beloved Julia. While in Milan, Valentine falls in love of the Duke's daughter Silvia. Silvia was betrothed to Thurio, a wealthy courtier, although Silvia prefers Valentine. The two decide to elope, and Valentine confided in Proteus; Proteus, however, is smitten himself by the sight of Silvia. In order to get Valentine out of the way, Proteus betrays the plan to the Duke. Valentine is banished, Silvia is confined to a jail, and Proteus becomes a confidant of the Duke in matters concerning Thurio and Silvia.
Valentine joins a band of outlaws and is elected their leader. As the play progresses, Julia—disguised as a boy page—enters Milan in search of Proteus, who is trying unsuccessfully to woo Silvia on the sly. Silvia, on the other hand, still longs for Valentine, and cares nothing for Proteus or Thurio. Julia, ironically now in service as a page to Proteus, becomes an intermediary between Proteus and Silvia. Silvia finally tires of the situation and escapes Milan in search of Valentine. As fate would have it, Silvia is captured by Valentine's band of outlaws.
Unfortunately, the Duke learned of Silvia's escape, and he, Proteus, and Thurio all set off to rescue her. Proteus recovers Silvia before the outlaws can bring her to Valentine. Valentine encounters them as Proteus makes the case for his love to Silvia; the two confront and eventually make peace with each other. In a gesture of reconciliation, Valentine even offers Silvia to Proteus, which causes Julia to faint, Proteus recognizes her, much to his shame. The Duke and Thurio arrive upon the scene, but Thurio backs off his claim to Silvia when challenged by Valentine. As the play ends, Valentine gets Silvia with the Duke's approval, Proteus and Julia are reconciled, and the Duke grants a pardon to the band of outlaws

Edgar Allan poe
"The Angel of the Odd"
A dark comedy about what happens to a man who has been drinking a bit too much. All of a sudden, a strange little character introduces himself:
Mein Gott, den, vat a vool you bees for dat !' replied one of the most remarkable voices I ever heard. At first I took it for a rumbling in my ears — such as a man sometimes experiences when getting very drunk — but, upon second thought, I considered the sound as more nearly resembling that which proceeds from an empty barrel beaten with a big stick

To The River by Edgar Allan Poe
Fair river! in thy bright, clear flow
Of crystal, wandering water,
Thou art an emblem of the glow
Of beauty -- the unhidden heart --
The playful maziness of art
In old Alberto's daughter;
But when within thy wave she looks --
Which glistens then, and trembles --
Why, then, the prettiest of brooks
Her worshipper resembles;
For in my heart, as in thy stream,
Her image deeply lies --
The heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul-searching eyes.
Of crystal, wandering water,
Thou art an emblem of the glow
Of beauty -- the unhidden heart --
The playful maziness of art
In old Alberto's daughter;
But when within thy wave she looks --
Which glistens then, and trembles --
Why, then, the prettiest of brooks
Her worshipper resembles;
For in my heart, as in thy stream,
Her image deeply lies --
The heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul-searching eyes.
Spirits of the Dead by Edgar Allan Po
Spirits of the Dead
Their soul shall find itself alone
dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone --
Not one, of all the crowd, to pray
for short hour of secrecy:
Be silent in that solitude
Which is not loneliness -- for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee -- and their will
Shall then overshadow thee: be still
For the night -- tho' clear -- shall frown --
And the stars shall look not down,
From their high thrones in the Heaven,
With light like Hope to mortals given --
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever :
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish --
Now are visions ne'er to vanish --
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more -- like dew-drop from the grass:
The breeze -- the breath of God -- is still --
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy -- shadowy -- yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token --
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries! --
dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone --

for short hour of secrecy:
Be silent in that solitude
Which is not loneliness -- for then

In death around thee -- and their will

For the night -- tho' clear -- shall frown --

by Edgar Allan Poe +Annabel Lee +
- 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.
- She was a child and I 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 winged seraphs of heaven
- Coveted her and me.
- And this was the reason that, long ago,
- In this kingdom by the sea,
- A wind blew out of a cloud by night
- Chilling my Annabel Lee;
- So that her high-born kinsman came
- And bore her away from me,
- To shut her up in a sepulchre
- In this kingdom by the sea.
- 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 a cloud, chilling
- And killing my Annabel Lee.
- 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
- Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--
- For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
- Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
- And the stars never rise but I see 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--
- In her tomb by the side of the sea.
poem of Edgar Allan poe
ALONE
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were -- I have not seen
As others saw -- I could not bring
My passions from a common spring --
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow -- I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone --
And all I lov'd -- I lov'd alone --
Then -- in my childhood -- in the dawn
Of a most stormy life -- was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still --
From the torrent, or the fountain --
From the red cliff of the mountain --
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold --
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by --
From the thunder, and the storm --
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view --

In the second village, he found children who had an ass that they made stand on its hind legs and tumble ,they were shouting and laughing at it ; so, the man gave them some money and asked to leave the poor ass alone
In the third village, he found young people with a bear that they had been thought to dance ;so, he gave them some money again and releazed the bear
However, this time all his money had been givrn away while he decided to take some from the treasury of the king , but as he came out , the guards of the king arrested him , and he was supposed to be thrown in a box into water .
The box was thrown into water , and after a short minute, he heard something nibbling and bitting at the lock ;suddenly, it fell off and opened ,and there was the mouse ,the poor ass with the bear that helped him because he had been kind with them
lastly he found a white stone in the sea that contributed him all his wishes : palace and garden ,stud of horses and fine stable .

Once, there was a son of a king who wanted to go to markets of his father and he was allowed to go .
When he got there, he asked all men that there was no buy and no sell until they replay for his riddles :*who is it who in the morning walks on four feet, at noon on two and on three in the evening* , and *what tree has twelve branch ,with thirty leaves to a branch . no one replied and all markets were closed ever after.
Among all men, there was a very poor one who had a very intelligent girl who asked her father why he always returned empty _handed from the market ,but he replied that the prince forbade them to sell or by until answering his riddles.
the daughter asked the father what riddles and when he told her ,she said that it was easy and that* who is it who in the morning walks on four feet, at noon on two ,and on three in the evening*, is man: in the morning of his life, he crawls on all four ,he goes on two feet ,and overtime when he is adult he leans on a cane , and for a tree that has twelve branch with thirty leaves to a branch is the year ; it has twelve months and each month has thirty days

story ; the pit and the pendulum , the writer Edgar Alan Poe
A man who dreamt that he was buried ,and taken into darkness with closed eyes without any motion .
When he stood and walked in the cold room ,his feet slip on somthing wet .For that ,he fell asleep two times ; when he woke up the first time ,he ate and drank from the food that was near him , and the second time ,he found himself near an edge of a pit , he ate and drank again but the food was benumbed that time.So, he got to sleep for long time.
After waking up, he was tied with ropes and near him salty meat but no water . An old man above him was holding a pendulum moving from one side to another coming down closer to his body, until he was rescued by rats that ate the cords
Lastly, he went to light of agap and he saw pictures of terrible faces with red eyes burning and making dark fume .For that ,he lost his breath hiding his face with his hands by the time the walls were coming narrawer and closer to him until there was no place to stand . He screamed loudly to hear feet stepes ,doors opening and fotunatly arms saved him.

about myself
Hi
Initially and far away from any objection.and even though disinclined to talk overmuch about myself i have to introduce my personality ; my name is Amine Gouray , twenty one years old ,a student at B.T.T.C in Algiers .
I have spent one year and half learning english major and still.
to be honest ,the themes and disciplines I eager to know about are ancient writers ,particularly , those who were poor but they expressed themselves ,like ;Raussau who Naplion Bonabert apraised him ": unless raussau , the french revoulution would not succeed".
I also keen on scientific researchs;in medcine like cardiovascular research center in Glasgow that discoverd a new test to detect heart dissease by annalysing urine checking some samples of protien .
