    Can ever, dissever my soul from the soul.............
    Pathetically poignant, transmission of feeling
    Goes through you like a poetic shock

    In my opinion Poe was the greatest poet of all time, Annabel Lee like so many of his poems came from first hand experiance. he led a terribly tortured life and the evidence he put forth in his poetry. Anabel Lee has got to bethe most beautiful soul stirring poem of lost love, barr none.

    Chills! Poe had such a deft touch with the macabre. His love poems were beautifully creepy.

    Now we know why Poe drank, first love, true love, clash of families (shakespeare?) you bet. After that, what would be his only purpose to go on?

    One of the saddest but most beautiful love poems ever written,
    Painfully Poetic

    Such language of jewel like beauty to depict the power of love. Poe shines like a star amongst the pantheon of poets

    This is a great full-circled poem indeed. Love is not a ticking bomb with an expiration date, but lives on past death, hence the long-lived poet and poem. View Blind Beauty.
