Edgar Allan Poe Quotes
To Muse For Long Unwearied Hours With My Attention Riveted To Some Frivolous Device Upon The Margin, Or In The Typography Of A Book - To Become Absorbed For The Better Part Of A Summer's Day In A Quaint Shadow Falling Aslant Upon The Tapestry, Or Upon The Floor - To Lose Myself For An Entire Night In Watching The Steady Flame Of A Lamp, Or The Embers Of A Fire - To Dream Away Whole Days Over The Perfume Of A Flower - To Repeat Monotonously Some Common Word, Until The Sound, By Dint Of Frequent Repetition, Ceased To Convey Any Idea Whatever To The Mind - To Lose All Sense Of Motion Or Physical Existence In A State Of Absolute Bodily Quiescence Long And Obstinately Persevered In - Such Were A Few Of The Most Common And Least Pernicious Vagaries Induced By A Condition Of The Mental Faculties, Not, Indeed, Altogether Unparalleled, But Certainly Bidding Defiance To Any Thing Like Analysis Or Explanation.
