Study                                                                         
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
       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 someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.               
       "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door --         
       Only this, and nothing more."

Study (on the velvet couch)                                                    
Stone walls, wreathed in shadows and velvet curtains, rise into the gloom      
overhead. The old oak writing desk -- once your father's, now your own -- is   
wedged beneath the window lattice, with a velvet couch before it. A low fire   
smoulders in its ancient hearth. To the southeast, a bust of Pallas sits atop  
an arch with darkness beyond.
