Answer 1

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,;
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

(Excerpt from "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar)

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door;
Only this, and nothing more."

(Excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe)
