Vote: | Hugo is my family now. I've always had Great Danes, but Hugo is the most loving dog I've ever had. When my last Great Dane died, I thought I would never get another. I loved that dog so much. But my son Jeffrey found Hugo at a kennel that was overstocked; Hugo was almost 2, just over being a puppy. He's a wonderful guard dog, but he forgets how big he is and tries to get in my lap! Danes are so affectionate. |

Vote: | I did not want to meet my queen in a wheelchair. I was on two canes, and I managed to follow the protocol, two steps back, curtsy, two steps forward, curtsy again. The queen pinned the medal on and was concerned about how I was recovering. It was a wonderful honor I will never forget. |

Vote: | My dressing room ws in the middle, between Bette Davis on the right and Joan Crawford on the left. I got all the vibes that came across. They didn't fight openly, but you could tell there was friction between them. Joan was very gracious, but I never believed in her like I did Bette. If Bette said something, you believed it. |

Biography
|
Annabel Lee is the last poem composed by American author Edgar Allan Poe. Written in 1849, it was not published until shortly after Poe's death that same year, appearing in two newspapers.
Like Poe's most famous poem, The Raven, it tells of a man mourning a dead lover. It is unclear whether the Annabel Lee character referred to a real person. Some say it was written for his wife, some for a lover, and others that it was the product of Poe's gloomy imagination.
Annabel Lee is six stanzas, three with six lines and three with eight, with the rhyme pattern differing slightly in each one.
The poem begins as if from a storyteller's point of view, where Edgar Allan Poe begins to explain the couple's love, which dates from their growing up together.
:In this kingdom by the sea;:I and my Annabel Lee-
Annabel Lee dies because "the angels" envied the couple's great love.
:Went envying her and me -:In this kingdom by the sea):Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
However, unlike The Raven, in which the narrator believes he will "nevermore" be reunited with his love, Annabel Lee says the two will be together again:
:Of those who were older than we—:And neither the angels in Heaven above:Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
See also Nabokov's Lolita, in which a major character is named Annabel Leigh.
