Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight-
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define-
Nor Love- although the Love were thine.
(The Lake)
More Quotes from Edgar Allan Poe:
Of late, eternal condor yearsSo shake the very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky;
And when an hour with calmer wings
Its down upon my spirit flings,
That little time with lyre and rhyme
To while away-forbidden things-
My heart would feel to be a crime
Unless it trembled with the strings.
Edgar Allan Poe
It is but agony of desire:
If I can hope- Oh God!
Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe
