Star crossed lovers, the jealousy of heaven, death and love: just a few of Poe’s favorite topics when writing of love

A calm to come back to nature and attune ourselves to the earth

The haunting observations of William Blake with his characteristically bleak language. A reminder of the sorrow and contrasts that beautiful poetry can bring.
