Edgar Allan Poe
The reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths!
Edgar Allan Poe
The higher powers of the reflective intellect are more decidedly and more usefully tasked by the unostentatious game of draughts than by all the elaborate frivolity of chess.
Edgar Allan Poe
I hold that a long poem does not exist. I maintain that the phrase, a long poem, is simply a flat contradiction in terms.
Edgar Allan Poe
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
Edgar Allan Poe
Lord help my poor soul.
Edgar Allan Poe
Even with the utterly lost, to whom life and death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest can be made.
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
