Isn't that Poe's poem to his pre-teen COUSIN, who later became his WIFE at like age 14? Eeeeew!
Yep. This woman is a downer. I wouldn't even want to be her friend, let alone her spouse. Water seeks it's own level, that's for sure. :(
I don't know about the poem, I mean the facts behind the poem. Interesting! He was a pretty troubled guy, old Edger Allen.
