"I became insane with long intervals of sanity" – Edgar Allen Poe
Reading one of his short stories is an experience like no other.
"Masque of the Red Death" is one of his greatest works!

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.

" 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.
