(1809-1849)
To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness and more of Sin
And Horror the Soul of the Plot.
-- Edgar Allan Poe, Ligeia
From childhood's
hour I have not been
As others were - I have not seen
As others saw - I could not bring
My passions from a common spring -
-- Edgar Allan Poe, Alone
I dwelt alone
In a world of moan
And my soul was a stagnant tide
-- Edgar Allan Poe
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute unconsciousness, I drank - God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink, rather than the drink to the insanity. -- Edgar Allan Poe, letter to an admirer
"That is another of your odd notions," said the Prefect, who had the fashion of calling everything 'odd' that was beyond his comprehension, and thus lived amid an absolute legion of 'oddities'. -- Edgar Allan Poe, The Purloined Letter
"Why, yes; and not exactly that either. The fact is, we have all been a good deal puzzled because the affair is so simple, and yet baffles us altogether." -- Edgar Allan Poe, The Purloined Letter
