You call it hope-that fire of fire! It is but agony of desire.
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
We allude to the short prose narrative, requiring from a half hour to one or two hours in its perusal
Edgar Allan Poe
There are two bodies - the rudimental and the complete corresponding with the two conditions of the worm and the butterfly. What we call death, is but the painful metamorphosis. Our present incarnation is progressive, preparatory, temporary. Our future is perfected, ultimate, immortal. The ultimate life is the full design.
Edgar Allan Poe
Stupidity is a talent for misconception.
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
