I'm not big fan of poetry but Edgar Allan Poe is a teacher and knows how to reach all audiences. This is very deep and full of strong feelings especially because it highlights the pain of losing a loved one.
This is the only piece I fell in love with in the whole universe of literature and I'd read it once in a while, along listening to “The Raven” by Alan Parsons ❤️
“The fall of the house of Usher” series is also added to my favorites.
take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door.
Quoth the raven: ‘nevermore'.
Talk about obstinate.
