You recognized the reference! And here I thought the bit about poetry was only some empty enticement meant to make you sound more appealing in that dreary, ghost-stories-and-stormy-bluffs sort of way. There are some people, you know, who find that sort of thing quite attractive, and there aren't many these days who properly fit the aesthetic.

I do take issue with your description of yourself as brusque, though; it did not entirely prepare me for the spiders. I don't think of spiders as particularly brusque. Creepy, crawly, wriggly, not particularly good as appetizers no matter how you prepare them; spiders are all of these things, but not brusque.
