Martin F. Tupper. 1810-1889.
A babe in a house is a well-spring of pleasure.
Of Education.
God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.
Of Immortality.
Edgar A. Poe. 1811-1849.
Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door,—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
The Raven.
Whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster.
The Raven.
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
The Raven.
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—Nevermore!
The Raven.
To the glory that was Greece
And the grandeur that was Rome.
To Helen.
