Once upon a midnight dreary, while I tapped my keyboard, my eyes bleary As I tried to write a novel that was no bore I looked for inspiration, how to avoid clichés temptation I’d write about rejuvenation—hope for the lonely lass Lenore— An epic tale of a maiden born anew named Lenore— A blockbuster for evermore.

In a Dark Room With Edgar Allen Poe
I am in a dark room with Edgar Allen Poe, there is a blank wall turned into a movie screen, showing his life story, a struggle of his life without glory.
