Heart’s and Eyes
Most critics know Edgar Allen Poe as a mysterious man, with many thoughts and feelings of symbolism. He has put in his books so much psychological themes and has really, got hold of the human psyche. According to www.onlineliature.com, “Poe’s verses illustrate an intense faculty for technical and abstract beauty, with the rhyming art to excess, an incorrigible propensity toward nocturnal themes, a demoniac undertone behind every page. … There is an indescribable magnetism about the poet’s life and reminiscences, as well as the poems.” Much of his works have so much to hide and so much to gain from. He was born in Boston Massachusetts in 1809 and had parents as actors. He first inspiration on writing came to him around the time when his family was breaking apart “In 1826 Poe became engaged to Elmira Royster, but her parents broke off the engagement. During his stay at the university, Poe composed some tales, but little is known of his apprentice works.” (www.kirjasto.sci.fi/eapoe.htm). He will forever be known as a master writer, with so much detail and unhappiness in his work that later on, even after his death, his works will continue to indulged readers from time to time.
