It is but agony of desire.”

“And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor:
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore!”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Poems

“I have no words — alas! — to tell
The loveliness of loving well!”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Poems

“And thus thy memory is to me
Like some enchanted far-off isle
In some tumultuous sea —
Some ocean throbbing far and free
With storms — but where meanwhile
Serenest skies continually
Just o'er that one bright island smile.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Poems
