The+Search+for+Eldorado

By Edgar Allen Poe Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old-- This knight so bold-- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be-- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains  Of the Moon,  Down the Valley of the Shadow,   Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied-- "If you seek for Eldorado!"
 * __ Eldorado __**

A knight dressed in black armor rides gallantly into the sunset with the last demising glimmers of sunlight reflecting of his shimmering exterior. As he disappears off into the sunset upon his white steed he whistles a tune searching for his Eldorado. He traveled through the darkest forest, and sailed over the roughest of sea. Searching, and never once losing hope. Over mountains and through deep valleys he did travel. Expunging lands, much farther from his own, of beast that threaten to stop him from reaching his goal.

But this dauntless knight slowly grew older. And as he won perilous victories he lost hope, and fear he may never reach his utopia. His Eldorado. More years passed and the knight became weak. Losing strength he searched in deeper darker places, but to no avail. There he met a shadow. The shadow that had been covering his heart.

“Shadow” he asked “where can it be - - This land of Eldorado?”

“ Over the Mountains of the Moon, down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride" The shadow replied "If you seek for Eldorado!"

The Knight mounted his horse and once again faded off into the distant sunset. Never giving up on his journey to Eldorado.
