More from Edgar Allan Poe
"There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion."

"The author avers upon his word of honor that in commencing this work he loads a pistol, and places it upon the table."
"The secret of a poem, no less than a jest's prosperity, lies in the ear of him that hears it."
"I have been to hell and back, and let me tell you, it was glorious."
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.
