Poe
 

Whats your favorite work by Edgar Allen Poe???


I'll go first.
My favorite Poem by Poe is in my signature... its called A Dream.



P.S. Sorry if this was already a thread...

hmmm, I haven't read many poe works, although as soon as I finish the crop of books that I just bought I am going to get his complete stories and poems. I would have to say from what I have read... the raven

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night or in a day, In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
ALL that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
ONE from the pitiless wave?
Is ALL that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

For fiction: "The Fall of the House of Usher"

For poetry: "Annabelle Lee"

Nice. A Dram Within a Dream is oneof my favorite poems. The Raven is one of the most popular. There's a website with most of his works on it. I'll try to get that for you guys. :p

Kinda crappy if I do say so myself... Oh well.

"The Cask of Amontillado" is my favorite. I still think about it sometimes though I first heard it over twenty years ago.:)

Annabelle Lee

Masque of the Red Death

As far as his stories go, I think A Descent into the Maelstrom is my favorite. The imagery is so scary to me, it actually gave me a fear of whirlpools. I guess that's why I stay out of the deep end of the pool now.:p

Annabelle Lee is a popular one. I certainly like it regardless.

Yeah, Poe has the talent to get under your skin. My mom won't even read it... lol. If I don't have anything to do, I'll end up reading his stories for hours. They never loose their effect, so its fun to read the one's I haven't read in forever.

I haven't read A Descent into the Maelstrom for a year or so, so I'll read that, amoung others, on my trip to California tomorrow. :p
