I am a great fan of Edgar Allan Poe.
He certainly had a way with words. Particularly saying very little but conveying so much.
So today I am going to let Poe say the things that are resonating with me. The things that I perhaps could say but not in so few words.
Take it away Edgar!
Literature is the most noble of professions… For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

Stupidity is a talent for misconception.

Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.

Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.

Probably, the genius of a writer lies in saying briefly, but expressing a lot.
I love the dreamy edit on this image and really enjoyed the quotations you shared. Excellent post so thank you for sharing. Missy x

Love the images. The color is interesting and engaging. Thank you for the Poe quotes
Thank you for viewing 😉
Edgar Poe was certainly a genius. And your image is very cute. And in terms of color, even some kind of warm.
Yes, to all of this… every quote, and that gorgeous image. That last quote resonated with me. Hard.

Poe is wonderful. I was fortunate to live in the Baltimore- DC area for nearly a decade. Seeing his room on the quad at University of Virginia was inspiring.
Walking his streets in Baltimore his words still echoed. Father of the detective story in English written stories. Depressed genius.
May, you honor the poet and author.
The image is perfect.
Reminds me of Rodin’s Caryatid fallen under her stone.
Thank you so much for your comment
Oh. I’m a Poe fan too! Love this image. It’s very loud for saying so little.
If you have a great imagination u got to love Poe
I hear you, I see you, I admire you.
Right back atcha!
