Edgar Allan Poe

That is not possible. For some reason female's obsession over anything in particular is so strong that even the force of a omnipotent God could not stop it. No matter what is impossible.

Alright. Collaboring with your homolust, then.

I would be your little cousin, Poe.

Sup /lit/. I'm doing a paper on Poe. Anyone have any opinions/insights to share on "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Black Cat," or "The Fall of The House of Usher"?

So I heard Poe is writing a new book.

Nobody has any idea what it'll be about.

Hey /lit/! I've heard a lot of great things about Edgar Allan Poe, so I decide that I should read some of his stuff. What should I start with?

SAD

Somehow, I doubt even this will kill the cancer. /lit/ is too far gone.

You grew up on them, but when you got to uni all your professors called them cheap and masturbatory. Feels bad man.

Annabel Lee
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 her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

-Edgar Allen Poe

If it helps making it better, I did my presentation on Edgar Allan Poe. So far it has been the only actual literature-themed presentation. You'd be surprised with the amount japan and anime themed presentations.

Anybody else find Poe tedious?

brb... voting.

/lit/, I want to get a tattoo in tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. Any suggestions? I was thinking a line from one of his poems. Maybe "A Dream Within a Dream," or "Alone." But does anyone have any ideas of something else? Or some picture that would compliment it?
