Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
            Only this and nothing more.”

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

There are lots of theories but none can be confirmed. He was found in a ditch and a lot of theories had to do with his consumption of alcohol. One of the more interesting theories is cooping which is where someone would force someone to vote several times for a candidate usually by giving them alcohol. Edgar Allan Poe was a bit of an alcoholic so it would not have been hard for him to be gotten drunk enough to be coerced into electoral fraud.]]> 2019-02-24 23:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/csimmons404620/2alsudkzx3fb/wish/334646995
