Read the excerpt from "The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe. Hear the loud alarum bells— Brazen bells! What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune, In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire, Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor Now—now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! What do the shorter lines like "Brazen bells!", "Out of tune," and "Of Despair!" emphasize to the reader? the musical quality of the bells the disturbing effect of the bells the soothing nature of the bells the poor condition of the bells
