A gentleman with a pug nose i...

A gentleman with a pug nose is a contradiction in terms.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The goodness of your true pun...

The goodness of your true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The result of law inviolate i...

The result of law inviolate is perfection–right–negative happiness. The result of law violate is imperfection, wrong, positive pain.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

True, nervous, very, very dre...

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 Poe 448 quotes

I must perish in this deplora...

I must perish in this deplorable folly. Thus, thus, and not otherwise, shall I be lost. I dread the events of the future, not in themselves, but in their results. I shudder at the thought of any, even the most trivial, incident, which may operate upon this intolerable agitation of soul. I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect-in terror. In this unnerved-in this pitiable condition-I feel that the period will sooner or later arrive when I must abandon life and reason together, in some struggle with the grim phantasm, FEAR.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Men die nightly in their beds...

Men die nightly in their beds, wringing the hands of ghostly confessors ... on account of the hideousness of mysteries which will not suffer themselves to be revealed.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The realities of the world af...

The realities of the world affected me as visions, and as visions only, while the wild ideas of the land of dreams became, in turn,—not the material of my every-day existence--but in very deed that existence utterly and solely in itself.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

By a route obscure and lonely...

By a route obscure and lonely Haunted by ill angels only, Where an eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule -- From a wild, weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE, out of TIME.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Lord help my poor soul. ...

Lord help my poor soul.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Yes I now feel that it was then on that evening of sweet dreams- that the very first dawn of human love burst upon the icy night of my spirit. Since that period I have never seen nor heard your name without a shiver half of delight half of anxiety.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

To him, who still would gaze ...

To him, who still would gaze upon the glory of the summer sun, there comes, when that sun will from him part, a sullen hopelessness of heart.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

If we cannot comprehend God i...

If we cannot comprehend God in his visible works, how then in his inconceivable thoughts, that call the works into being?

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

...And, all at once, the moon...

...And, all at once, the moon arouse through the thin ghastly mist, And was crimson in color... And they lynx which dwelleth forever in the tomb, came out therefrom. And lay down at the feet of the demon. And looked at him steadily in the face.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Odors have an altogether pecu...

Odors have an altogether peculiar force, in affecting us through association; a force differing essentially from that of objects addressing the touch, the taste, the sight or the hearing.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

There are few persons, even a...

There are few persons, even among the calmest thinkers, who have not occasionally been startled into a vague yet thrilling half credence in the supernatural, by coincidences of so seemingly marvellous a character that, as mere coincidences, the intellect has been unable to receive them.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Either the memory of past bli...

Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of to-day; or the agonies which are have their origins in ecstasies which might have been.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

I need scarcely observe that ...

I need scarcely observe that a poem deserves its title only inasmuch as it excites, by elevating the soul. The value of the poem is in the ratio of this elevating excitement. But all excitements are, through a psychal necessity, transient.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The mere imitation, however ac...

The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Thy soul shall find itself alo...

Thy soul shall find itself alone 'Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstoneЂ' Not one, of all the crowd, to pry Into thine hour of secrecy. Be silent in that solitude, Which is not lonelinessЂ'for then The spirits of the dead who stood In life before thee are again In death around theeЂ'and their will Shall overshadow thee: be still.

I have no words alas! to tell the loveliness of loving well
