I call to mind flatness and dampness; and then all is madness - the madness of a memory which busies itself among forbidden things.

More from Edgar Allan Poe
"The unpardonable sin is to be a bore."
"It is with literature as with law or empire – an established name is an estate in tenure, or a throne in possession."
"The universe is a sphere whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere."
"Why does a lady in tight corsets never need comfort? Because she's already so laced. — solaced."
"Why is a chain like the feline race? Because it's a catenation. — a catty nation."
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.
