My Birthday Tribute: Poe

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Abbie Lu

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
~Edgar Allan Poe

EDGAR ALLAN POE

Today is my birthday, and I am honored to share it with Edgar Allan Poe, born January 19th 1809. Poe was a brilliant writer, and I love his work. I admire the deep sentiment within his work, which draws you in. His style is not for everyone, it’s sometime long and daunting, but there is beauty laced within the lines that you must keep reading to find.

Quotes by Poe:

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

You can’t spell Poet without Poe 😉

Even though its just two or three lines, these quotes have such metaphorical meanings and they have the power to make us think. Poe was an amazing storyteller, knowing when to detail and when to skip elaborate descriptions and his writing has never failed to intrigue me.
By the way, thanks for the follow. 🙂

I love Poe, too! I have a small Poe collection of things – other than books.

I love to read, write, and drink coffee. They are the bread and butter of my soul. I really enjoy discussing books, poetry, and the like. Another huge passion of mine is dancing, and for fun I am an avid volleyball player. I live in the NW and I am a hybrid city/country lover. I enjoy spending time hiking through our beautiful Oregon forests, and riding horses at the family farm. I also equally enjoy strolling the downtown waterfront with a latte, gazing the city lights, and/or sipping a Café con leche at my favorite Cuban eatery. Contact me if you would like me to review any products related to: Books, Poetry, and/or Coffee!
