There is always some madness in love

Many people think of Edgar Allan Poe as a master of mystery, writing tales to chill our bones.  But Poe is a master of many topics, love included.  He cherished the women in his life, but none more than his young wife.  She was sadly taken from him because of tuberculosis.  The joys of married life and the pain of losing his love are beautifully expressed in his works "Eulalie" and "Annabell Lee."  To experience his words, click the name of the poem you would like to read.
