[@culturatecnologiayfuturo]

Love the poem and the music choice!!!

[@anushirawan]

Is there a version of this exact/specific reading by Christopher Lee (not the other version), but without the background music? I like the music, but I want to listen to it without music too.

[@TheSymphisis]

Thanks again for the simple yet practical subtitles :) Very much appreciated.

[@cryptohunt2552]

@@hispanoholics-podcast6095 Wonderful! What is the music?

[@Mindfultranslations]

Awesome 👏

Well, but in original 1849 fifth line is " 'Tis some visiter" (gallicism), not "visitor". And "tis" - is shorted archaic "it is" (Cambridge Dictionary). "Seraphim" - is the plural archaic hebrew form "seraph" ("seraphs" - "Annabel Lee"). Pluto - isn't simply a ruler of the underworld, he is the god of Death and the ruler of underworld Kingdom of Death in classical mythology. So "Night shore" - the shore of Kingdom of Death (Stygian shore).
