[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 41653, member: 43"] I'm certainly not as talented as our mystery poet, but reading some of his or her poems got me to thinking about one of my favorites. First heard it being recited by Mississippi (the James Caan character) in one of my favorite John Wayne films -- El Dorado. Thought that perhaps one or two of you might like it. It in fact is titled "Eldorado" and was written by Edgar Allen Poe, in 1849 I believe. Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old-- This knight so bold-- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be-- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied-- "If you seek for Eldorado!" [/QUOTE]
