Quoth the Raven, Nevermor
Edgar Allan Poe
Thou wouldst be loved? - then let thy heart From its present pathway part not! Being everything which now thou art, Be nothing which thou art not. So with the world thy gentle ways, Thy grace, thy more than beauty, Shall be an endless theme of praise, And love - a simple duty.

Edgar Allan Poe
I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.
Edgar Allan Poe
But our love was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we Of many far wiser than we And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
Edgar Allan Poe
True! - nervous - very, very nervous I had been and am but why will you say that I am mad?
Edgar Allan Poe
Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem.
Edgar Allan Poe
The reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.
Edgar Allan Poe
The eye, like a shattered mirror, multiplies the images of sorrow
Edgar Allan Poe
Ceux qui revent eveilles ont conscience de 1000 choses qui echapent a ceux qui ne revent qu'endormis. The one who has day dream are aware of 1000 things that the one who dreams only when he sleeps will never understand. (it sounds better in french, I do what I can with my translation...)
Edgar Allan Poe
The world is a great ocean, upon which we encounter more tempestuous storms than calms.
Edgar Allan Poe
