And all I loved, I loved alone

…cuz I’m not easily impressed (generally). “Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”

― Edgar Allan Poe

 

Edgar Allan Poe believed that meaning in literature should be an undercurrent just beneath the surface. Works with obvious meanings, he wrote, cease to be art. He believed that work of quality should be brief and focus on a specific single effect. Fellow critic James Russell Lowell called him "the most discriminating, philosophical, and fearless critic upon imaginative works who has written in America”. “In criticism, I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.”

― Edgar Allan Poe

Currently @ DaphneArts Gallery a Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. And don’t forget,

“Art is to look at not to criticize.”

― Edgar Allan Poe
