honeybee | 07:26 In his "Philosophy of Composition" Poe asks: "When is this most melancholy of topics most poetical? When it most closely [page 5:] allies itself to Beauty. The death, then, of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world; and equally it is beyond doubt that the lips best suited to such a topic are those of a bereaved lover."
THE SUPERNATURAL IN EDGAR ALLAN POE by Richard H. Hart
