To One in Paradise BY EDGAR ALLAN POE Thou wast that all to me, love, For which my soul did pine— A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine.
Ah, dream too bright to last! Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise But to be overcast! A voice from out the Future cries, “On! on!”—but o’er the Past (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies Mute, motionless, aghast!
For, alas! alas! with me The light of Life is o’er! No more—no more—no more— (Such language holds the solemn sea To the sands upon the shore) Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree, Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy grey eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams— In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams.

Loss of breath
All of them. To many good ones to pick from.
The art of Diddling
The Tell-Tale Heart ❤️?
The Cask of Amontillado
The Black Cat
I love all the ones I read! I did like a lot the crimes of rue Morgue
Mask of the red death
Hmmmm….that’s like picking a favorite child.
Thank you for reminding me of this Album. I did read his books long before it came out.

And Finally
To One in Paradise
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
Thou wast that all to me, love,
For which my soul did pine—
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.
Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from out the Future cries,
“On! on!”—but o’er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!
For, alas! alas! with me
The light of Life is o’er!
No more—no more—no more—
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree,
Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams—
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

The Black Cat

As you may have gathered I’m a Poe Fan.
Surrealism in words in the 19th century.
The Raven.
The Cask of Amontillado. OH! and The Masque of the Red Death!
The Tell-Tale Heart
They are all good
I love them all
Tell tale heart
The fall of the house of usher
Yes that one is my real number one too, I recently re-read it.
The Tell Tale Heart
but The Raven is a close second.
The Tell Tale heart made popular culture
Sorry I can’t resist pointing this out
https://youtu.be/wXlkAOhjY1E
That’s true, and they also covered The Raven.
Just because it’s now a pop culture reference doesn’t reduce it’s effectiveness.
It merely highlights its relevance
Conscience
Raven lenore tell tale- oh hell all of them
The black cat and tell tale heart
The Fall of the House of Usher and all the others.
can’t choose my mom had this collection of poets and I wore his book out.
The Raven
