Edgar Allan Poe (American - Poet)
January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849
I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.
Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.
Stupidity is a talent for misconception.
Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
We loved with a love that was more than love.
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?
