From childhood's hour I have not been As others were—I have not seen As others saw—I could not bring My passions from a common spring.

More from Edgar Allan Poe
"I have a great deal of what the world calls courage, but I have no prudence."
"The world is a theatre, and we are merely players."
"There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion."
"I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind."
"It is with literature as with law or empire – an established name is an estate in tenure, or a throne in possession."
About Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
American Gothic poet and short-story writer who invented the detective story (Murders in the Rue Morgue) and shaped horror literature. Closely associated with Nathaniel Hawthorne (fellow American Gothic) and Charles Baudelaire (his French translator and torch-bearer). For an intellectual contrast, see Ralph Waldo Emerson, Transcendentalist optimist of self-reliance — Poe wrote essays attacking the entire Transcendentalist circle as didactic and intellectually thin — he derisively called them 'Frogpondians' and treated their cheerful mysticism as the literary opposite of his macabre realism.
