Poetry Quote by Edgar Allan Poe — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Other friends have flown before -”

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”

“Blood was its Avatar and its seal.”

“Sleep, those little slices of death — how I loathe them.”

“You call it hope — that fire of fire!”

“I saw thee once - only once - years ago:”

“And in the end,”

“Light”

“Never cry because you have mountains of problem in your hands to solve. Always smile because each problems will someday resolve.”

“This fire that we call Loving is too strong for human minds. But just right for human souls.”

“A way of using words to say things which could not possibly be said in any other way, things which in a sense do not exist till they are born … in poetry.”

“Equally, the surrealists consider words as witnesses of life acting in a direct way in human affairs. To use words properly it was necessary to treat them with respect, for they were the intermediaries between oneself and the rest of creation. To abuse them was immediately to set oneself adrift from true being. Words need to be coaxed to reveal a little of their true nature, so as to close the breach that exists between the writer and the universe. The world is not something alien against which man is in conflict. Rather man and cosmos exist in reciprocal motion. We are not cast adrift in an alien or meaningless environment. The universe is intimate with us and, as Breton insisted, it is a cryptogram to be deciphered.”
