Even in the grave, all is not lost. - Edgar Allan Poe

"From childhood's hour I have not been. As others were, I have not seen. As others saw, I could not awaken. My heart to joy at the same tone. And all I loved, I loved alone."

"The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world."

"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"

"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words."

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