Spirits of the Dead: Tales and Other Poems QUOTES

1 " Thy soul shall find itself alone
’Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone—
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness—for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee—and their will
Shall overshadow thee: be still. [...] "

― Edgar Allan Poe , Spirits of the Dead: Tales and Other Poems
