From the beginning of his career, Edgar Allen Poe considered himself first and foremost a poet. In his prose works Poe is best remembered for his tales of psychological horror and suspense, but it is in his poetry that we find the true artist, struggling with the themes that were the most important to him and the closest to his bones. These themes included the loss of childhood innocence, alienation, despair, death, and loss of love. His greatest poems are expressions of one and sometimes several of these themes. Many of his poems, especially "Ulalume - A Ballad," "To Helen," "Annabel Lee," "The City in the Sea," "The Raven," "The Bells," and "The Haunted Palace" are among the most universally admired poems in English. D.H. Lawrence wrote that Poe "was an adventurer into the vaults and cellars and horrible underground passages of the human soul. He sounded the horror and the warning of his own doom." The Complete Poems is a testament to the strange genius of one of America's most original men of letters.

The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.

Masque Of The Red Death

Dans ces derniers temps, un malheureux fut amené devant nos tribunaux, dont le front était illustré d'un rare et singulier tatouage: Pas de chance! Il portait ainsi au-dessus de ses yeux l'étiquette de sa vie, comme un livre son titre, et l'interrogatoire prouve que ce bizarre écriteau était cruellement véridique. Il y a, dans l'histoire littéraire, des destinées analogues, de vraies damnations,—des hommes qui portent le mot guignon écrit en caractères mystérieux dans les plis sinueux de leur front. L'Ange aveugle de l'expiation s'est emparé d'eux et les fouette à tour de bras pour l'édification des autres. En vain leur vie montre-t-elle des talents, des vertus, de la grâce; la Société a pour eux un anathème spécial, et accuse en eux les infirmités que sa persécution leur a données.—Que ne fit pas Hoffmann pour désarmer la destinée, et que n'entreprit pas Balzac pour conjurer la fortune?—Existe-t-il donc une Providence diabolique qui prépare le malheur dès le berceau,—qui jette avec préméditation des natures spirituelles et angéliques dans des milieux hostiles, comme des martyrs dans les cirques? Y a-t-il donc des âmes sacrées, vouées à l'autel, condamnées à marcher à la mort et à la gloire à travers leurs propres ruines? Le cauchemar des Ténèbres assiègera-t-il éternellement ces âmes de choix?
