" "
I was a child and she was a child,

But we loved with a love that was more than love-

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

Additional quotes by Edgar Allan Poe

Read this and thought of you:
Through joy and through sorrow, I wrote.
Through hunger and through thirst, I wrote.
Through good report and through ill report, I wrote.
Through sunshine and through moonshine, I wrote.
What I wrote it is unnecessary to say.
~ Edgar Allen Poe

The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped and sere — The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year.

Thou wouldst be loved? — then let thy heart
From its present pathway part not!
Being everything which now thou art,
Be nothing which thou art not.
So with the world thy gentle ways,
Thy grace, thy more than beauty,
Shall be an endless theme of praise,
And love — a simple duty.
