The Raven and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe

faitelle's review

5.0

Finally finished! Of the last 3 poems 'Eldorado' was my favourite, I've had it memorised for a long time. It's short and doesn't have some of the beauty of Poe's other works but I like the story and the galloping rhythm. I think the moral of the story is fairly clear - you can search and search for paradise in life but will only find it truely in death

Idk, I enjoyed the Raven, but I zoned out for the rest. My brain wasn't in the mood to process old-timey literature.

Sinceramente la obra de teatro no la acabé. En medio de una colección de poesía meter una obra teatral inacabada no me parece relevante. Los poemas si que me gustaron, muy buen ritmo, emoción y rima.

His greatness is nothing less but deserved. His rhyme, prose and verse building is something that inspired so many after him, not to mention his themes of darkness, madness and the correlation between dream versus reality.
