the icy night of my spirit...



“Yes, I now feel that it was then 
on that evening of sweet dreams
that the very first dawn of 
human love burst upon 
the icy night of my spirit
Since that period 
I have never seen 
nor heard your name 
without a shiver 
half of delight
half of anxiety.”

Lovely words from Poe. A little unexpected by myself but I imagine he was a man of many talents.

yes, trevor - seems our poe was quite the man - a man of all seasons, so to speak! so glad to see you over this way!

Poe never ceases to amaze, he had such an eclectic, dramatic style that I most admire. The man was truly amazing in his own right.
