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 Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-You are not wrong, who deem. That my days have been a dream; All that we see or seem. Is but a dream within a dream. Edgar Allan Poe
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness. Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe quote: "And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note,..."
And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave. Edgar Allan Poe
To conceive the horror of my sensations is, I presume, utterly impossible; yet a curiosity to penetrate the mysteries of these awful regions predominates even over my despair, and will reconcile me to the most hideous aspect of death. Edgar Allan Poe
In our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember. Edgar Allan Poe
though I said art sure no craven vastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore, tell me why thy lordly name is on the nigts plutonium shore, quoth the raven "never more Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe quote: "To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths!"
To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths! Edgar Allan Poe
