The Bells, by Edgar Allan Poe
Hear the sledges with the bells-
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
…
Hear the mellow wedding bells-
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
…
Hear the loud alarum bells-
Brazen bells!
What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells
…
Hear the tolling of the bells-
Iron bells!
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels
…

The Cozido das Furnas is one of the most well-known typical dishes of the Island
Its several ingredients (meat and vegetables) are put inside a pot which is buried in the soil for 5 to 6 hours, the time it takes the natural heat of the volcanic activity to boil the food
