The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 1 of 5 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of never never more! THIS stanza from The Raven was recommended by James Russell Lowell as an inscription upon the Baltimore monument which marks the resting place of Edgar Allan Poe, the most interesting and original figure in American letters. A nd, to signify that peculiar musical quality of Poe sgenius which inthralls every reader, Mr. Lowell suggested this additional verse, from the Haunted Palace :A nd all with pearl and ruby glowing Was the fair palace door, Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing, And sparkling ever more, A troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty Was but to sing, In voices of surpassing beauty, The wit and wisdom of their king.
