Had he lived longer Poe might have produced a few more masterpieces. Now we are left with two or three good poems, one of which, The Raven, an unforgettable masterpiece and a story ot five that are still worthwhile. A lot of the others are outdated, too obviously written to please the taste of the contemporary gothic-loving readers. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the world a spot
The which I could not love the less-
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.
