Item #484
The Bells is majestic poetry, but this book is more about the 45 “Other Poems.” 28 have splendid tipped in color plates by Dulac, and the whole collects all of Poe’s best work, including, Lenore, The Raven, The City in the Sea, Eldorado, Dream Land, and Annabel Lee. Some are gallantly psychotic, but they cover a broad array, from the purely horrific to agonizingly painful lost love.
