The one with Pluto the cat, because of the irony
The planet Trae is an ancient land with a sordid history of globalization, war, kings, and gods. We currently boast 8 Billion in total population with a fair government under checks and balances and a separation of powers.

The Raven is perhaps his most famous poem and I believe that it will always be.

I love all his work, really.
I am letting this nation die. I may or may not return after a long fucking while. I need a break from all the LYING AND CHEATING.

Oh, wait. That'll probably continue. I'm gonna pretend it's not happening, then.

I don't believe he is the greatest writer. I find his poems rather... dull. Has anyone read W.B. Yeats?

Yes there is, Wordsworth, Shakespeare, and many others of corse, I just believe that Poe can be discussed with greater ease because he is well known, and unlike Shakespeare, we know about his life. :clap:

Shakespeare is a big no-no for me. Although, his stories may have had meaning in his time, for me, they are cryptic and nonsensical. Until I stumbled upon this thread, I knew of Poe, but I only knew one of his poems.

I like the poem in The Fall of the House of Usher, it's like Shakespeare's "play within a play".

The Premature Burial is refreshingly NON supernatural.

Annabel Lee is touching.

I always liked the melancholy of Lenore

Tell tale Heart and The Black Cat are both great studies in guilt and insanity

Are you asking for homework help here?

I kind of like the Telltale Heart and the Cask of Amontillado. These two really set the standard for modern paranormal thrillers.

And is it wrong of me that I read the title as Edgar Allan Pope?
