Because sometimes you need a quote or two to get you through the day, or just make you smile, or think…

Today is dear old Edgar, great grandfather of all that is gothic, Allen, really quite a cheerful is misunderstood soul, Poe.

Its odd to think to that my daughter and sons generation when Poe is mentioned the first thing they think of is a red creature with a telly in its tummy. How did we come to this? Is not the tell tale heart of humanities wonder still open to the dark streets of Paris where murders lurk in shadows? Will we now in fact quote the raven nevermore?

In fairness I suspect Edgar Allan Poe’s impact on civilization will outstrip that of the telly tubbies… But that on one side this is among my favorite Poe Quotes (other than EeeOhhh) for at times when writing and editing this is exactly how it feels…
