More from Edgar Allan Poe
"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?"
"To be original, one must be independent of the opinions of others."
"Sleep, those little slices of death; Oh how I loathe them."
"Why ought the author of the 'Grotesque and Arabesque' to be a good writer of verses? Because he's a poet to a t. Add t to Poe makes it Poet."
"In the deepest slumber-no! In delirium-no! In a swoon-no! In death-no! even in the grave all is not lost."
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.
