Edgar Allan Poe:
(né Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849).
American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales involving mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as one of the central figures of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States, and of early American literature. Poe was one of the country’s first successful practitioners of the short story, and is generally considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. In addition, he is credited with contributing significantly to the emergence of science fiction. He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living by writing alone, which resulted in a financially difficult life and career.
Is all that we see or seem. But a dream within a dream?
It is a happiness to wonder; it is a happiness to dream.
They who dream by day are cognisant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
All religion is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
If a poem hasn’t ripped apart your soul; you haven’t experienced poetry.
At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon.
Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute.
