Английский с Эдгаром По. Падение дома Ашеров

But the fervid facility of his impromptus could not be so accounted for (но пламенная легкость его экспромтов не могла быть так объяснена; to account for – объяснять). They must have been, and were (они должны были быть и были), in the notes, as well as in the words of his wild fantasias (в нотах, как и в словах его безудержных фантазий) (for he not unfrequently accompanied himself with rhymed verbal improvisations) (ибо он нередко: «не нечасто» аккомпанировал себе рифмованными словесными импровизациями), the result of that intense mental collectedness and concentration (результатом той интенсивной умственной собранности и концентрации) to which I have previously alluded as observable only in particular moments of the highest artificial excitement (о которых я ранее вскользь упоминал как о наблюдаемых только в некоторые моменты высочайшего искусственного = экзальтированного возбуждения).

The verses, which were entitled “The Haunted Palace,” ran very nearly, if not accurately, thus (стихи, которые были названы «Дворец с привидениями», бежали = звучали почти, если и не точно, так; to run – бежать; гласить, звучать; nearly – почти):
