Edgar Allan Poe
Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries
Edgar Allan Poe
Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man.

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary
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.
Edgar Allan Poe
Every moment of the night Forever changing places And they put out the star-light With the breath from their pale faces
Edgar Allan Poe
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, In the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Edgar Allan Poe
