Edgar Allan Poe
It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night.
Edgar Allan Poe
And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams-- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams!
Edgar Allan Poe
Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries
Edgar Allan Poe
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!” Quoth the raven, “Nevermore.
Edgar Allan Poe
Deep in earth my love is lying And I must weep alone.
