Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems Quotes

“And here, in thought, to thee-
In thought that can alone,
Ascend thy empire and so be
A partner of thy throne,
By winged Fantasy,
My embassy is given,
Till secrecy shall knowledge be
In the environs of Heaven.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems

“How solemnly pervading the calm air!
A sound of silence on the startled ear
Which dreamy poets name "the music of the sphere."
Ours is a world of words: Quiet we call
"Silence"—which is the merest word of all.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems
