el dorado

i love to recite poetry from memory. This is one of my all time favorites. when i got my masters degree my wife gave me a leather bound volume of poe. the bookmark was at this poem. i also recited it at my mother's funeral. i love the line "ride, boldly ride." don't only go forward on your quest but go "boldly." what a great thought. but, what the hell, it was written by the great poe. why shouldn't it be great.

Eldorado Poem

I first became interested in this poem when watching the Western "El Dorado" starring John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, and James Caan. James Caan quotes part of this poem in the movie.

I never knew all the words till finding it on your website.

Thanks!

Sheri
