This is a quote from Poe that is not only true and touching but it also relates to his life. Poe was never really a normal person, in fact he was a pretty crazy man. His works and writing were amazing but they all had some form strangeness, and mystery to them because that just how he is. Without this his works would not be as successful and as beautiful as they are. ]]> 2022-11-02 19:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/keiraarto1/esf6p7fpgqq1ttwo/wish/2367269931 Letters nmelendez01 https://padlet.com/keiraarto1/esf6p7fpgqq1ttwo/wish/2367276868 Edgar Allan Poe's death led to many women claiming parts in his life.

"Alone" reflects on Poe's life as an emotional outsider. In "Alone" Poe describes how he perceived life and emotions differently than others which made him feel isolated. It made him question why he sees things so differently than others. The beauty and irony of this poem is that of feeling isolated, different, misunderstood because so many people can relate to these feelings. The way that Poe expresses these feelings and emotions through poetry can cause writers to connect with others who feel the same. ]]> 2022-11-03 19:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/keiraarto1/esf6p7fpgqq1ttwo/wish/2369009550 City in the Sea nmelendez01 https://padlet.com/keiraarto1/esf6p7fpgqq1ttwo/wish/2369010460 The City in the Sea is about hell, and sin.

 Poe describes how a speaker experiences depths of dispiritedness and despair. The mood and motivation  reveals how his life was and traumitized by those events he makes his poetic masterpiece. He question if his life itself was just an ilusian.
The actual poem:
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?
