More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Scorching my seared heart with a pain, not hell shall make me fear again.
Edgar Allan Poe
Most writers - poets in especial - prefer having it understood that they compose by a species of fine frenzy - an ecstatic intuition - and would positively shudder at letting the public take a peep behind the scenes.
Edgar Allan Poe
The goodness of your true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability.
Edgar Allan Poe
In reading some books we occupy ourselves chiefly with the thoughts of the author in perusing others, exclusively with our own.
Edgar Allan Poe
The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist
Edgar Allan Poe
True, nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am, but why will say that I am mad?! The disease had haunted my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Of all the sense of hearing acute.
Edgar Allan Poe
A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
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
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
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
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
Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten golden notes, And all in tune What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats On the moon!
Edgar Allan Poe
If you are ever drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations.
Edgar Allan Poe
If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul you haven't experienced poetry.
Edgar Allan Poe
Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride, The shade replied,- If you seek for Eldorado.
Edgar Allan Poe
The result of law inviolate is perfection–right–negative happiness. The result of law violate is imperfection, wrong, positive pain.
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no beauty without some strangeness
Edgar Allan Poe
Even in the grave, all is not lost.
Edgar Allan Poe
Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.
Edgar Allan Poe
A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.
