Poe

Famous quotes containing the word poe:

    There is ... a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language.... Now, so entire is my faith in the power of words, that at times, I have believed it possible to embody even the evanescence of fancies such as I have attempted to describe.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    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 nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
