“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
~Edgar Allan Poe
EDGAR ALLAN POE
Today is my birthday, and I am honored to share it with Edgar Allan Poe, born January 19th 1809. Poe was a brilliant writer, and I love his work. I admire the deep sentiment within his work, which draws you in. His style is not for everyone, it’s sometime long and daunting, but there is beauty laced within the lines that you must keep reading to find.
Quotes by Poe:
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
Hauntingly. Mysterious. Beautiful.
What are your thoughts on Poe?
You can’t spell Poet without Poe 😉
Happy Birthday! 😀 We’re studying Poe in English class this year, and he’s quickly becoming my all-time favorite poet.

Happy Birthday! I have enjoyed Poe since I read the Masque of Red Death in middle school. I can’t even say why I enjoyed his work, but I remember writing a paper on him in college.
The first time I visited Richmond, Virginia I was delighted to find there was a Poe museum. Some years later, my niece was married in the gardens there.
