—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Poe gives the sense for the first time in America, that literature is serious, not a matter of courtesy but of truth.”

“All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
