Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1849. Of all the melancholy themes, the one universally recognized by mankind as the saddest of all is the most obvious one: death. And that most melancholy theme becomes the most poetic as well, when coupled with the theme of beauty. Thus, the death of a beautiful young woman is undoubtedly and unavoidably the most poetic theme in the world. - Poe, as portrayed by Silvano Tranquilli, aka Montgomery Glenn, in Castle of Blood”/“Danza Macabra” (1964).
