We loved with a love that was more than love. - Edgar Allan Poe

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

"Every poem should remind the reader that they are going to die."

"It is more than probable that I am not understood; but I fear, indeed, that it is in no manner possible to convey to the mind of the merely general reader, an adequate idea of that nervous intensity of interest with which, in my case, the powers of meditation (not to speak technically) busied and buried themselves, in the contemplation of even the most ordinary objects of the universe."

"There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion."

"Every poem should remind the reader that they are going to die."
