More from Edgar Allan Poe
"With me, poetry has been not a purpose, but a passion; and the passions should be held in reverence: they must not be profaned by a superficial interest."
"It is an evil growing out of our republican institutions, that here a man of large purse has usually a very little soul which he keeps in it."
"I am a firm believer in the doctrine of original sin."
"I have been a victim of a thousand phantasies."
"Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so."
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.
