Publisher’s Note: If you missed the news, I’m leaving Substack and closing down Edgar Allan Poe Fortnightly at the end of the month. This week, please enjoy a handful of poems that I haven’t shared yet.
To ——
Edgar Allan Poe
First published in 1829
I heed not that my earthly lot Hath—little of earth in it— That years of love have been forgot In the hatred of a minute:— I mourn not that the desolate Are happier, sweet, than I, But that you sorrow for my fate Who am a passer by.
The Final Month of Edgar Allan Poe Fortnightly:
The week of 01/22: The Purloined Letter
