Poe

Famous quotes containing the word poe:

    While the stars that oversprinkle
    All the heavens, seem to twinkle
    With a crystalline delight;
    Keeping time, time, time,
    In a sort of Runic rhyme,
    To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
    From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    The waves have now a redder glow—
    The hours are breathing faint and low—
    And when, amid no earthly moans,
    Down, down that town shall settle hence,
    Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
    Shall do it reverence.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    The rudiment of verse may, possibly, be found in the spondee.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
