Did I ever tell you I met one of the Poe Toasters online? You know the annual leaving of three roses & a bottle of cognac at his grave? The amazing thing about that is, yes, there is a group of them who do it on different years, sworn to honor the secret, and none of them knows who the others are (of course one must, but otherwise it's even a mystery to them).
No, I don't think you've shared that one. Amazing, the secret continues.
I am aware of the Poe Toasters.
Poe was a strange one for sure, but I do love his poetry.
