In an essay about composing literature, Poe wrote the following: "the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world--and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover." What do you think he meant by this? How does "Ligeia" fit into this philosophy of literature? Posted by beckijanke on Jun 18, 2008. |
