“But as in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so in fact, out of joy is...”

– Edgar Allan Poe | Berenice (via completelybackasswards)

Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o’er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- “Shadow,” said he, “Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?” “Over the Mountains Of...

Silence - A Fable - Edgar Allan Poe - 1837 →

‘Ευδουσιν δ’ ορεων κορυφαι τε καί φάραγγες Πρωνες τε καί χαράδραι - ALCMAN. The mountain pinnacles slumber; valleys, crags and caves are silent. “LISTEN to me,” said the Demon, as he placed his hand upon my head. “The region of which I speak is a dreary region in Libya, by the borders of the river Zäire. And there is no quiet there, nor silence. “The waters of the river have a saffron and...

by Edgar Allan Poe By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule- From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE- out of TIME.

To Helen by Edgar Allan Poe

mondochimp: Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o’er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore.

Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee...

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted...

Philly's Poe Palooza

I visited the Poe museum in Philly today. I’ve been trying to go there for 4 years, and trust me, it was the worst wait. I was really scared that it wasn’t going to live up to my expectations, but it did! To get in, you knock on the locked door, and the most pleasant lady answers it. You step in to the gift shop, which has the cutest looking Poe dolls! When you look to your left,...
