Quoth the raven, ‘Nevermore.’”

“We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused—in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible.

—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

“What I here propound is true: ... if by any means it be now trodden down so that it die, it will ‘rise again to ... Life Everlasting.’”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“You need not attempt to shake off or to banter off Romance. It is an evil you will never get rid of to the end of your days. It is a part of yourself ... of your soul. Age will only mellow it a little, and give it a holier tone.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
