I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows howoften or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. - EA Poe
ALONE
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were I have not seen
As others saw I could not bring
My passions from a common spring
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone
And all I lov'd I lov'd alone
Then in my childhood in the dawn
Of a most stormy life was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still
From the torrent, or the fountain
From the red cliff of the mountain
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by
From the thunder, and the storm
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view
E. A. Poe
~§~INFANT SORROW~§~
My mother groand! my father wept.
Into the dangerous world I leapt:
Helpless, naked, piping loud;
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
Struggling in my fathers hands:
Striving against the swaddling bands:
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast.
