Edgar Allan Poe Question

What is your favorite stanza of your favorite Poe poem?

Mine is from "The Raven"

"And the Raven, never flitting, Still is sitting, STILL is sitting,
On the pallid bust of Palas,just above my chamber door.
And his eyes have all the seeming, of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp light o'er him streaming, Throws his shadow on the floor.
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted-- Never more!

Ooh, I love that stanza too!!!!!

''Had drawn up the spectre of a planet
From the limbo of lunary souls —
This sinfully scintillant planet
From the Hell of the planetary souls''

I think "The Raven" is my favorite; I used to have the whole thing memorized...but that was like three or four years ago. I like "Annabel Lee" too.

"Sadly, I know I am shorn of my strength, and no muscle I move as I lie at full length- But no matter!-I feel I am better at length."

From 'Annabel Lee'


I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

A Dream Within A Dream

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.
