Edgar Allan Poe - An EnigmaEdgar Allan Poe - An Enigma
Work rating: Medium


"Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce,        "Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet.      Through all the flimsy things we see at once        As easily as through a Naples bonnet-        Trash of all trash!- how can a lady don it?      Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff-      Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff        Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it."      And, veritably, Sol is right enough.      The general tuckermanities are arrant      Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent-        But this is, now- you may depend upon it-      Stable, opaque, immortal- all by dint      Of the dear names that he concealed within `t.
