Yes, I intended to state Eureka as well after I had submitted the post. Now, how is Eureka much different than De Rerum Natura? They both rife with scientific faults, but both are philosophical in their own right  and for this, Lucretius is deemed both poet and philosopher. Do you believe that Poe is wanting in terms of philosophical sentiment? Moreover, to clarify, I am not presenting an argument; rather, I was curious as to how this would be received.
