The Raven
by Edgar Allan Poe

This is one of the baubles in our "Great Literature Through Shockwave" series.

We believe that it will make a tasteful, literate addition to any web page . . . . . as a header, a footer, or even as a horizontal divider between sections of your page. The dimensions for this Shock-Bauble are 32 pixels tall by 592 wide. All members of the "Great Literature" series are a bandwidth-friendly 2k to 4k in size.

The piece above is designed to disappear on a page with a white background; the one below on a page with a black background. They are slightly interactive in the sense that you may click on the baubles to scroll backwards in the poem (in case it moves faster than you desire). The poem repeats continuously.
