All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. - Edgar Allan Poe

"We loved with a love that was more than love."

"For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, In the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea."

"Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"

"To elevate the soul, poetry is necessary."

"I have been happy, though in a dream.I have been happy-and I love the theme:Dreams! in their vivid colouring of lifeAs in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife"
