Edgar Allan Poe Quotes

He Admitted But Four Elementary Principles, Or More Strictly, Conditions Of Bliss. That Which He Considered Chief Was (strange To Say!) The Simple And Purely Physical One Of Free Exercise In The Open Air. "The Health," He Said, "attainable By Other Means Is Scarcely Worth The Name." He Instanced The Ecstasies Of The Fox Hunter, And Pointed To The Tillers Of The Earth, The Only People Who, As A Class, Can Be Fairly Considered Happier Than Others. His Second Condition Was Love Of Woman. His Third, And Most Difficult Of Realization, Was The Contempt Of Ambition. His Fourth Was An Object Of Unceasing Pursuit; And He Held That, Other Things Being Equal, The Extent Of Attainable Happiness Was In Proportion To The Spirituality Of This Object.
