walken does the raven

i fell in love with this poem as a kid. hearing christoper walken read it makes it even better.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."

In year ten of highschool, I wrote out that ENTIRE POEM, word for word, on my english file! I was a little worried cos I wasnt too sure whether there would be enough room, it covered the front, inside left and right and back of the file.
It was very impressive!
actually it makes me wonder what happened to the file, im sure its around somewhere! :)
