Edgar Allan Poe
And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
Edgar Allan Poe
I intend to put up with nothing that I can put down.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries
Edgar Allan Poe
As a viewed myself in a fragment of looking-glass..., I was so impressed with a sense of vague awe at my appearance ... that I was seized with a violent tremour.
Edgar Allan Poe
