Edgar Allan Poe - Alone
In the following poem, Poe talks about his troubled childhood in foster care with his father portrayed as a demon. It is amazing that in these circumstances he became one of the best poets in US history.
“ALONE”
By Edgar Allan Poe
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—

Of a demon in my view—
Singing oneness!

ReplyDeletewhich I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting

the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!
