January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849. Was an American poet, short story writer, editor, critic and one of the leaders of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of the macabre, Poe was one of the early American practitioners of the short story and a progenitor of detective fiction and crime fiction. He is also credited with contributing to narrative forms of the emergent science fiction genre. Poe died at the age of 40. The cause of his death is undetermined and has been attributed to alcohol, drugs, cholera, rabies, and other agents. Text from Wikipedia.org.

I love Annabel Lee

And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

I love these lines! http://bestuff.com/stuff/annabel-lee

It's really good indeed! And don't forget the Raven. <3

" And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore!"

It always reminds me of Tim Burton's Vincent.

well i just think the concept of him being kicked in 'I Am The Walrus' is quite intriguing.
