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

“To elevate the soul, poetry is necessary.”

“Philosophers have often held dispute”

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,”

“Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!”

“Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.”

“Twas noontide of summer,”

“30 cents, two transfers, love”

“Every particle of dust on a patch of earth”

“When I say that I love animals, I mean to say that I am IN love with them. Because they don't know evil and have never been tempted by it. Because they are the purest image of any higher being I have ever known. Because their souls are made of a much larger magic than my own, and if you let them, they will show it to you. Because this world is theirs, they were here first. And we should all love them a little more for graciously allowing us to have so much of it.”

“The answer to our existence lies in existence itself.”

“Four billion people on this earth”

“To be a poet, I realized, a true poet, was to become the Avatar of humanity incarnate; to accept the mantle of poet is to carry the cross of the Son of Man, to suffer the birth pangs of the Soul-Mother of Humanity.”
