Walt Whitman wrote, "Poe's verses illustrate an intense faculty for technical and abstract beauty, with the rhyming art to excess, an incorrigible propensity toward nocturnal themes, a demoniac undertone behind every page.brilliant and dazzling, but with no heat.I wanted, and still want for poetry, the clear sun and the fresh air blowing---strength and power of health, not of delirium---always the background of the ternal moralities.".
