“I think it was his eyes! Yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture – a pale blue eye , with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold : and so by degrees – very gradually – I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the e forever.”

Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado.
