Una fosca media noche, cuando en tristes reflexiones,
sobre más de un raro infolio de olvidados cronicones
inclinaba soñoliento la cabeza, de repente
a mi puerta oí llamar:
como si alguien, suavemente, se pusiese con incierta
mano tímida a tocar:
«¡Es — me dije — una visita que llamando está a mi puerta:
eso es todo y nada más!».
¡Ah! Bien claro lo recuerdo: era el crudo mes del hielo,
y su espectro cada brasa moribunda enviaba al suelo.
Cuán ansioso el nuevo día deseaba, en la lectura
procurando en vano hallar
tregua a la honda desventura de la muerte de Leonora;
la radiante, la sin par
vírgen pura a quien Leonora los querubes llaman, hora
ya sin nombre… ¡nunca más!
Y el crujido triste, incierto, de las rojas colgaduras
me aterraba, me llenaba de fantásticas pavuras,
de tal modo que el latido de mi pecho palpitante
procurando dominar,
«¡es, sin duda, un visitante —repetía con instancia—
que a mi alcoba quiere entrar:
un tardío visitante a las puertas de mi estancia…,
eso es todo, y nada más!».
Paso a paso, fuerza y bríos fue mi espíritu cobrando:
«Caballero —dije— o dama: mil perdones os demando;
mas, el caso es que dormía, y con tanta gentileza
me vinisteis a llamar,
y con tal delicadeza y tan tímida constancia
os pusísteis a tocar,
que no oí» —dije— y las puertas abrí al punto de mi estancia;
¡sombras sólo y… nada más!
Mudo, trémulo, en la sombra por mirar haciendo empeños,
quedé allí, cual antes nadie los soñó, forjando sueños;
más profundo era el silencio, y la calma no acusaba
ruido alguno… Resonar
sólo un nombre se escuchaba que en voz baja a aquella hora
yo me puse a murmurar,
y que el eco repetía como un soplo: ¡Leonora…!
esto apenas, ¡nada más!
A mi alcoba retornando con el alma en turbulencia,
pronto oí llamar de nuevo, —esta vez con más violencia,
«De seguro —dije— es algo que se posa en mi persiana,
pues, veamos de encontrar
la razón abierta y llana de este caso raro y serio,
y el enigma averiguar.
¡Corazón! Calma un instante, y aclaremos el misterio…
—Es el viento— y nada más!»
La ventana abrí —y con rítmico aleteo y garbo extraño,
entró un cuervo majestuoso de la sacra edad de antaño.
Sin pararse ni un instante ni señales dar de susto,
con aspecto señorial,
fué a posarse sobre un busto de Minerva que ornamenta
de mi puerta el cabezal;
sobre el busto que de Palas la figura representa
fué y posóse —¡y nada más!
Trocó entonces el negro pájaro en sonrisas mi tristeza
con su grave, torva y seria, decorosa gentileza;
y le dije: «Aunque la cresta calva llevas, de seguro
no eres cuervo nocturnal,
viejo, infausto cuervo obscuro, vagabundo en la tiniebla…
Dime: —«¿Cuál tu nombre, cuál
en el reino plutoniano de la noche y de la niebla?…»
Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!.»
Asombrado quedé oyendo así hablar al avechucho,
si bien su árida respuesta no expresaba poco o mucho;
pues preciso es convengamos en que nunca hubo criatura
que lograse contemplar
ave alguna en la moldura de su puerta encaramada,
ave o bruto reposar
sobre efigie en la cornisa de su puerta, cincelada,
con tal nombre: «¡Nunca más!».
Mas el cuervo, fijo, inmóvil, en la grave efigie aquella,
sólo dijo esa palabra, cual si su alma fuese en ella
vinculada —ni una pluma sacudía, ni un acento
se le oía pronunciar…
Dije entonces al momento: «Ya otros antes se han marchado,
y la aurora al despuntar,
él también se irá volando cual mis sueños han volado.»
Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!»
Por respuesta tan abrupta como justa sorprendido,
«no hay ya duda alguna —dije— lo que dice es aprendido;
aprendido de algún amo desdichado a quien la suerte
persiguiera sin cesar,
persiguiera hasta la muerte, hasta el punto de, en su duelo,
sus canciones terminar
y el clamor de su esperanza con el triste ritornelo
de jamás, ¡y nunca más»
Mas el cuervo provocando mi alma triste a la sonrisa,
mi sillón rodé hasta el frente al ave, al busto, a la cornisa;
luego, hundiéndome en la seda, fantasía y fantasía
dime entonces a juntar,
por saber qué pretendía aquel pájaro ominoso
de un pasado inmemorial,
aquel hosco, torvo, infausto, cuervo lúgubre y odioso
al graznar: «¡Nunca jamás!»
Quedé aquesto investigando frente al cuervo, en honda calma,
cuyos ojos encendidos me abrasaban pecho y alma.
Esto y más —sobre cojines reclinado— con anhelo
me empeñaba en descifrar,
sobre el rojo terciopelo do imprimía viva huella
luminosa mi fanal—
terciopelo cuya púrpura ¡ay! jamás volverá élla
a oprimir —¡Ah! ¡Nunca más!
Parecióme el aire, entonces, por incógnito incensario
que un querube columpiase de mi alcoba en el santuario,
perfumado —«Miserable ser —me dije— Dios te ha oído,
y por medio angelical,
tregua, tregua y el olvido del recuerdo de Leonora
te ha venido hoy a brindar:
¡bebe! bebe ese nepente, y así todo olvida ahora.
Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!»
«Eh, profeta —dije— o duende, mas profeta al fin, ya seas
ave o diablo — ya te envía la tormenta, ya te veas
por los ábregos barrido a esta playa, desolado
pero intrépido, a este hogar
por los males devastado, dime, dime, te lo imploro:
¿Llegaré jamas a hallar
algún bálsamo o consuelo para el mal que triste lloro?»
Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!»
«¡Oh, Profeta —dije— o diablo —Por ese ancho combo velo
de zafir que nos cobija, por el mismo Dios del Cielo
a quien ambos adoramos, dile a esta alma adolorida,
presa infausta del pesar,
sí jamás en otra vida la doncella arrobadora
a mi seno he de estrechar,
la alma virgen a quien llaman los arcángeles Leonora!»
Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!»
«Esa voz, oh cuervo, sea la señal de la partida.
grité alzándome: —¡Retorna, vuelve a tu hórrida guarida,
la plutónica ribera de la noche y de la bruma!…
de tu horrenda falsedad
en memoria, ni una pluma dejes, negra, ¡El busto deja!
¡Deja en paz mi soledad!
¡Quita el pico de mi pecho! De mi umbral tu forma aleja…»
Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!»
Y aún el cuervo inmóvil, fijo, sigue fijo en la escultura,
sobre el busto que ornamenta de mi puerta la moldura….
y sus ojos son los ojos de un demonio que, durmiendo,
las visiones ve del mal;
y la luz sobre él cayendo, sobre el suelo arroja trunca
su ancha sombra funeral,
y mi alma de esa sombra que en el suelo flota… ¡nunca
se alzará…, nunca jamás!

The business offers 1 certain [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/thoi-trang-nu_594/]mua chung gia re[/url] for each working day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance contract utilizing ThePoint's program: if a specified range of gentlemen and women sign up for the supply, then the offer turns into obtainable to all if the predetermined minimum is not met, no 1 gets the deal that day. This lowers possibility for merchants, who can treat the discount codes as quantity reductions as appropriately as product sales advertising and marketing sources. Groupon tends to make cash flow by striving to maintain about fifty percent the income the customer pays for the coupon.
For case in position, an $eighty therapeutic therapeutic massage could be obtained by the consumer for $forty by means of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would split up the $forty. That is, the retailer presents a therapeutic massage valued at $80 and gets about $twenty from Groupon for it (under a fifty%/50% break up). Or, if $240 really value of property portray answers is bought by the customer for $50 by means of Groupon, then the organization will get $20 five and Groupon retains $25. The consumer will get the therapeutic therapeutic massage, or the residence portray supplier, in these examples, from the retailer for which they originally compensated $40 (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are certain businesses to which Groupon initially did not provide its solutions, which includes capturing ranges and strip clubs even so, taking pictures ranges have been featured on Groupon.
In contrast to categorised marketing, the support provider does not shell out out any upfront price tag to consider component: Groupon collects individualized specifics from prepared purchasers and then contacts only people buyers, primarily by everyday e mail, who could possibly be fascinated in a distinct item or provider.
Groupon employs a massive amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the deals showcased by e-mail and on the web site. Groupon's advertising textual content for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing facet to the recognition of the website, showcasing a unique blend of in depth reality-examining and witty humor.
Owing to Groupon's sector at present being mainly composed of feminine shoppers, the bargains are frequently specific on the general wellness, wellness and fitness and splendor marketplaces.
There are achievable difficulties with the business model. For illustration, a successful deal could temporarily swamp a small business with as properly a number of buyers, risking a probability that clients will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be satisfactory merchandise to satisfy up with the demand from clients. Gap, a huge clothing retailer, was ready to consider treatment of 445,000 discount codes in a nationwide offer (although it seasoned server troubles at a one stage), but a much more compact organization could turn into abruptly flooded with consumers. A one espresso retailer in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in consumers for a couple of months, when it marketed in close proximity to to one particular,000 Groupons on the a one day it was provided, in accordance to 1 report. In response to similar troubles, Groupon officials level out that 'deal' subscriptions must be capped in development to a sensible assortment.
