I was watching the video for Everywhere (which I like, by the way) and at the beginning there are some brief shots of the text of a book. I wondered if this was real text, so I googled what I could make out: "wind was a torrent of". Sure enough, I found that this was a poem by Alfred Noyes called "The Highwayman".

And apparently, the book wasn't just some prop. They designed the video to follow the story of the poem. I thought that was neat.
