"to the floor a corpse..."See in text(The Fall of the House of Usher)
The phrase “bore him to the floor a corpse” is distinctly musical, namely for its rhyme. “Bore,” “floor,” and “corpse” all contain the same core -or sound. That these words land on sequential stressed beats hammers home the effect, adding an auditory weight to the image of Madeline’s collapse. Poe, a skilled poet, uses such musical effects throughout his writings, verse and prose alike.
