Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."
Excerpt from The Raven
by Edgar Allan Poe

The Memory Palace a podcast by Nate DiMeo, 'These Words Forever'
The story is about Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio
and how he dreamed of inventing a device
that could tap eternal frequencies and hear lost sounds.
The sound of falling rain reminds me of the static sounds of the radio.
Marconi's dream of capturing the terrifying cry of sea serpents,
or the soft sounds of young lovers skating on ice seemed almost possible...
but sadly, his wishes were restricted by the laws of physics
–just like how a kite gets snagged on a tree without the wind.

the inventor of the Morse code,
rushing home to his convalescent wife.
