And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore!

More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

The Premature Burial (1844)

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

The Raven (1844)

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

A dark unfathom'd tide
Of interminable pride —
A mystery, and a dream,
Should my early life seem.

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

Eleonora (1841)
