Poe

Famous quotes containing the word poe:

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    In the misty mid region of Weir—
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
