The reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

I was never kinder to the old...

I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Now this is the point. You fa...

Now this is the point. You fancy me a mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The pioneers and missionaries...

The pioneers and missionaries of religion have been the real cause of more trouble and war than all other classes of mankind.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

I stand amid the roar Of a su...

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep!

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

And have I not told you that ...

And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the sense? --now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well, too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

But our love was stronger by ...

But our love was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we Of many far wiser than we And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

The death then of a beautiful...

The death then of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world, and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

There are moments when, even ...

There are moments when, even to the sober eye of Reason, the world of our sad humanity must assume the aspect of Hell.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Perversity is the human thirs...

Perversity is the human thirst for self-torture.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

You need not attempt to shake...

You need not attempt to shake off or to banter off Romance. It is an evil you will never get rid of to the end of your days. It is a part of yourself ... of your soul. Age will only mellow it a little, and give it a holier tone.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

You will observe that the sto...

You will observe that the stories told are all about money-seekers, not about money-finders.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Yet we met; and fate bound us...

Yet we met; and fate bound us together at the alter,and I never spoke of passion nor thought of love. She, however shunned society, and, attaching herself to me alone rendered me happy. It is a happiness to wonder; it is a happiness to dream.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

In visions of the dark night ...

In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream- that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar- What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star?

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Melancholy is ... the most le...

Melancholy is ... the most legitimate of all the poetical tones.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

I hold that a long poem does ...

I hold that a long poem does not exist. I maintain that the phrase, "a long poem," is simply a flat contradiction in terms.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

If any ambitious man have a f...

If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own -- the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple -- a few plain words -- My Heart Laid Bare. But -- this little book must be true to its title.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

Hear the sledges with the bel...

Hear the sledges with the bells, Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night, While the stars that oversprinkle All the Heavens seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight: Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells-- From the jingling and the tingling of the bells.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

For my own part, I have never...

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it.

Edgar Poe 448 quotes

By the grey woods, by the swa...

By the grey woods, by the swamp, where the toad and newt encamp, by the dismal tarns and pools, where dwell the Gouls. By each spot the most unholy, by each nook most melancholy, there the traveller meets, aghast, sheeted memories of the Past. Shrouded forms that start and sigh, as they pass the wanderer by. White-robed forms of friends long given; In agony, to the Earth - and Heaven.
