A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.”

“Tell a scoundrel, three or four times a day, that he is the pink of probity, and you make him at least the perfection of ‘respectability’ in good earnest. On the other hand, accuse an honorable man, too petinaciously, of being a villain, and you fill him with a perverse ambition to show you that you are not altogether in the wrong.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“Far in the forest, dim and old,
For her may some tall vault unfold—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“And we passed to the end of a vista,
But were stopped by the door of a tomb—
By the door of a legended tomb;
And I said—’ What is written, sweet sister,
On the door of this legended tomb?’
She replied—’Ulalume—Ulalume!—
‘Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!’”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
