Edgar Allan Poe

[Solarian]

Wanted to show some appreciation for this pan. I've always loved his dark stories, and as a child the first one I've ever come across was The Black Cat, my favourite of his to this day. Would love to hear your favorite poems, stories and quotes from Edgar :] Here are my favourite quotes from him:

"All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream."

"We loved with a love that was more than love."

"Being young and dipped in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
And used to throw my earthly rest
And quiet all away with jest--"

[Clover]

Wonderful. I had a large heavy book of all his collections, I had to leave it behind, too much weight at the air port

Okay some of my favorite quotes




"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before"



"I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched"


Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night"

Hello,

Excellent! I enjoy reading anything related to Edgar Allan Poe. This reminds me to go by my sister's house and borrow The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe.

'All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.'

'I would define, in brief, the poetry of words to be rhythmical creation of Beauty.'

Blessed be,
Lepus

I also love these two quotes! And oh I've never heard of 'Evening Star,' but it's so beautiful; it made me tear up, literally <3
