Beauty in Words—A Social Media Image to Share

I'm a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan, and this weekend we had the opportunity to hang out at Poe's Tavern, in Charleston, SC. So in honor of this amazing place, I'm sharing a quote from Poe.

I'd love to know what your favorite Poe quote is.


"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." - Edgar Allen Poe

I also invite you to use this image any way you like online. Post it to your blog, share it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, anywhere you'd like. All I ask is that you keep it intact, with my website watermark visible.

Don't forget to join the conversation!
Blessings,
Edie

  5. He really suffered from depression and his imagery describing eerie settings was amazing.

    "I know not how it was--but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit." -- from The Fall of the House of Usher

    And by the way, my great-grandmother was an Usher widow when she married my great-grandfather. We can't find out anything about her first husband. Spooky!
