![]() It seems as though Poe had some idea in mind but no one is sure what it was. The indentation of this poem was done purposely in an attempt to match the way Poe originally wrote it. To the moaning and the groaning of the bells. What a world of solemn thought their monody compels !Īt the melancholy meaning of their tone ! In the clamour and the clangour of the bells ! In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,īy the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells. In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells ! To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells ! What a gush of euphony voluminously wells ! To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats What a world of happiness their harmony foretells ! To the tintinnabulation that so musically wellsįrom the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

You can read more about Poe’s biography in the articles Poets and Poems: Meeting Edgar Allan Poe and Forgotten Classics, The Telltale Heart by Julian Symons by Glynn Young, from which this biography was compiled. Questions and mystery surrounded Poe’s own life and death, and continue even today – we may never know who left three roses and a bottle of cognac on his grave in Baltimore for decades until 2011 (alas, the “Poe Toaster” disappeared or died, to be seen nevermore). And yet his poems, especially “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee,” made him famous in pre-Civil War America and established his literary reputation. His stories are full of mystery, passion, horror, violence, death, and the supernatural. We associate Edgar Allan Poe with 19th century gothic. Consider the stories and poems that have been filmed, published, re-published, anthologized, celebrated and widely admired for more than 150 years: “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “Fall of the House of Usher,” The Raven, “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Annabel Lee, “The Bells,” “Ulalame,” “To Helen.” His personal life seemed to have stayed a general mess, but he had an enormous impact on both American and world literature. The poems were the important works the stories were almost after-thoughts, almost dashed off primarily to raise funds. For his own writing, he wanted to be considered a poet. The Poe who arises from Symons’ hand (his biographer in The Telltale Heart: The Life and Works of Edgar Allan Poe) is a man who first and foremost was determined to put Southern letters on the map, aiming to wrest control from the literary establishment in New York and New England (Poe aimed some rather pointed arrows at writers like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow). A tendency to run up debts (including for gambling) kept him in constant state of reinvention – college student, poet, short story writer, soldier/officer school, literary journal editor and critic.
