Paris, July 7, 1840. In the early morning today the people in the western part of the city were awakened from their sleep by cries of terror, which came, it seemed, from a house in the street called the Rue Morgue. The only persons living in the house were an old woman, Mrs. L'Espanaye and her daughter. Several neighbors and a policeman ran toward the house, but by the time they reached it the cries had stopped. When no one answered their calls, they forced the door open. As they rushed in they heard voices, two voices. They seemed to come from above. The group hurried from room to room, but they found nothing until they reached the fourth floor. There they found a door that was firmly closed, locked, with the key inside. Quickly they forced the door open and they saw spread before them a bloody sickening scene - a scene of horror!
Paris! In Paris it was, in the summer of 1840. There I first met that strange and interesting young fellow, August Dupin.
Dupin was the last member of a well-known family, a family which had once been rich and famous. He himself, however, was far from rich. He cared little aobut money. He had enough to buy the most necessary things of life and a few books. He did not trouble himself about the rest, just books. With books he was happy.
We first met when we were both trying to find the same books. As it was a book which few had ever heard of, this chance brought us together in an old bookstore. Later we met again in the same store. Then again in another bookstore. Soon we began to talk.
Berawal dari keinginan yang mendalam disertai niat tulus dan mulia untuk semakin memperdalam kemampuan Bahasa Inggris ("hooeekk"), saya, sejak beberapa minggu terakhir ini sedang lebay dengan semua hal bernuansa Inggris. Tapi, tidak dengan kecap Inggris atau pisau Inggris.
Paling lebay sih dengan semua bacaan Inggris. Saya gak tau, sudah sampai di mana saya melakukan penjelajahan untuk mencari harta karun yang tak ternilai harganya, e-book in English.
"What was that?"
"Ooh.. Do not pretend like you do not know nothing.. Actually, We. Both. Did. That!"
I know I am stupid and always keep my stupidity to keep my right track. Buuuttt.. If I do some stupid things in a conscious mind without forced from anyone and finally made me in trouble, it means that..
God loves & bless me!
By Edgar Allan Poe
Tomorrow I die.
Tomorrow I die and today I want to tell the world what happened and thus perhaps free my soul from the horrible weight which lies upon it.
But listen! Listen and you shall hear how I have been destroyed.
When I was a child I had a natural goodness of soul which led me to love animals - all kinds of animals, but especially those animals we call pets. Animals which have learned to live with men and share their homes with them. There is something in the love of these animals which speaks directly to the heart of the man who has learned from experience how uncertain and changeable is the love of other men.
"Dist, judulnya gak usah gitu kalii. Gak mencerminkan perasaan kesal sama sekali. Terlalu formal."
"Udah diam dulu. Belum juga mulai udah komen. Ngemeng aja."
