More from Edgar Allan Poe
"Man is now only more active – not more happy – nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago."
"If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me."
"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?"
"I have no doubt that the universe is a gigantic practical joke."
"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.
