Beauty In Words
“Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.”
– Edgar Allan Poe
Quote ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Sensations are the great things, after all. Should you ever be drowned or hung, be sure and make a note of your sensations; they will be worth to you ten guineas a sheet. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Death
In death – no! even in the grave all is not lost. Else there is no immortality for man. Arousing from the most profound slumbers, we break the gossamer web of some dream. Yet in a second afterward, (so frail may that web may have been) we remember not that we have dreamed.
~Edgar Allan Poe

Words
