Allan Poe

Famous quotes containing the words allan poe, allan and/or poe:

    There the traveler meets, aghast,
    Sheeted memories of the past—
    Shrouded forms that start and sigh
    As they pass the wanderer by—
    White-robed forms of friends long given,
    In agony, to the earth—and heaven.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
