Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was an extremely troubled man from the beginning of his life. Poe's mine was consumed with thoughts of death. In his dark times he felt as if the grave was calling to him to come nearer and nearer. Even in the good times when Poe was his happiest with love in his life he new that death was always waiting around the corner, either for him or for his loves. Poe's life from his birth could have been one of his own creations. At an early age Poe's father disappeared, later it was conceived that he had died; about that same time Poe's mother became ill with consumption. Within a year of his father's disappearance Poes's mother died. This left Poe an orphan to live most of his life in poverty, and to be taken in by the Allan's. Mrs. Allan who loved him dearly and Mr. Allan who resented and grew to dislike Poe, as Poe did him. The tormented longings, which sent Poe half-mad to his death, were also where his genius came from.

Allan only agreed to take Poe into his family to appease his childless wife. School proved to be difficult time for Poe; he did not make friends easily and longed for the love of his foster-mother. She pitied his weak character but was not deceived into believing his poetical courtship. The death of his mother, foster mother, and his friend mother would always haunt him. Poe hovered around her when she was ill like a mother for her first born. Shew realized that Poe's only escape from himself was to write. These early years proved to be one of the happiest and most carefree times of Poe's life. Poe's need for a mother's love only seemed to bring tragedy to his life. The first hemorrhage that Virginia had demonstrated to Edgar what lay ahead for them. "He loved her with the selfless almost demented; passionate love that only youth can suffer when the touch of the adored one's hand is sufficient ecstasy to keep a boy in bless for weeks. Allan deaths only brought back the memories of his mother's death. It was about to reach out and touch again. From the moment he saw his mother die Poe began to hate his father. In the last line of this poem Poe writes of the demon in his view.
