The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe True!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story. "The Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe Question Use the passage to answer the question.
