More from Edgar Allan Poe
"I have a very strong opinion that the world is going to the dogs."
"The 99th part of literature is absolute rubbish. The one hundredth part is not so bad. The one hundredth part of that is worth reading."
"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?"
"The greatest crimes are not those committed for profit, but those committed for love."
"I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him."
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.
