How Poe Wrote His Raven
Hartford Times


Poe's new biographer, W. +. Gill,
rejects as nearly every one of sensi.
bility and discrimination must, the
poets labored account of "The
Raven" as a mere product of art and
seeks for clew to the poem in the
circumstances under which it was
written Poe was living at Bloom
ingdale. N. Y, and shortly before
"The Raven" appeared "his Child
wife" Virginia, whom he loved with
purity and intensity that was lit
tie short of alteration, was postrated
by serious illness, which bad pre-
viously afflicted her, and for some
time her life hung by thread. An.
imation was at times. indeed, seri-
Ously suspended, and on one dreary
December night, the poet was agon-
lied to find her cold and breathless,
apparently dead. In his lonely, ST.
lent vigils in what was, to all intents
and purposes, the presence of death,
many strange iMageries, and much
self-accusations naturally came to
him. Although uniformly kind and
tender to his wife, he had been weak
and erring from his unfortunate sus
ceptibility to liquor, and an exaggor-
ated sense of wrong done TO his
loved one through his weakness, not
unnaturally came to him at this
time, exciting the most irrational re-
morse. His unreasoning, agonizing
repining undoubtedly took such CON-
plete possession of him as to
thoroughly surcharge his mind with
the imaginative reveries that no
mortal ever dared to dream before !;
and in picturing to himself his wife
as departed, his remorse also forbade
him any hope of meeting her in the
distant Alden of the future. Mr..
Gill follows this natural hypothesis
with an analysis that rivels Poe's
own for its ingenuity. The house
where s'The Raven" was written by
the way has been absorbed into New
York, " tn the rest of Bloomingdale,
and is still standing on a rocky
height near the corner of Saith street
and the old Bloomingdale road, now
the st. Nicholas boulevard. 1t is q
plain, old-fashioned, double-framed,
two stories high, with eight win
dows on each side and one at either
end, with pointed root, aanked by
.wo brick chimneys.
