The Tell-Tale Heart

By Edgar Allan Poe

Under The Mad Eyes

TRUE -nervous -very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?

Under The Pocket Watch

Under The Skull

If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body.

Under The Cracked Heart With Wings

"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -tear up the planks! here, here! -It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
