POE, POET AND GENIUS
Writer Who Wrote With Dark
est Ink of MeldnChOlid

An attempt to erect a monument to
the memory of Edgar Allen Poe has
come to naught at Boston. There il
this dreamer of widest dreams, who,
even in death, is not free from the
calumny of his enemies. Poe died
[. ON alcoholism as a pauper patient
in sa pgblie hospital. The end Of his
itful life was ignominious. yet his
works stand out in American litera-
ture as revealing the truest, subtlest,
most sensitive genius of any writer
who preceded or succeeded him. One
who shall find the fanciful fights Of
his most vivid imaginings is impressed
with the loss our literature suffered
in his death. for his voiumes exhale
promise of surprising things. Many
biogi aphers have written of him, but
few seem to have grasped the extreme
delicacy of his nature, the fine shad-
ing of his SOUL
Poe wrote with the darkest ink OF
melancholia. He loved southern wo-
man with all the ardor of his sensitive
soul.
Cur love it was stronger by far than
the love
OF those who are older than we
or many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in Heaven
above,
Nor the demons under the sea
Can ever dlssever my soul from the
soul
OF beautiful Annabel Lee.
Her guardian intercepted the letters
written by him to her and by her to
him and he was led to believe that
she was false to him, an opinion which
she also conceived of him. When he
heard of her marriage to another. the
lndulgences of his youth became the
excesses of his manhood Those biog-
laphers. who appreciate his genius and
his soul agreed that his heart was
broken. His "Annabel Lee" of which
the above stanza is an extract, Is the
narrative of his love. He never for
got and never ceased loving her. as
The losing stanza attests:
For the moon never beams without
bringing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And so all the night tide I lie down
by the side
OF my darling-my darling-my life
and my bride.
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Poe's Raven" is the wall of the lost
soul Throughout his works are per-
meated with an air of gloom. The
force that would have reclaimed him
was lacking. Few contemporaneous
with him appreciated his spirit. and
there are many today lacking charity.
that will not look into the sublime
depths of his soul and who perceive
only the sins of the flesh.
The early reverse in love opened
into happiness that was short lived.
When his wife died he found surcease
from sorrow In dissipation. His JOY
was ephemeral He was touched by
the hand of genius, and the pity IS
chat such as he find life a cup contain
ing but little bliss. and usually the
cp" Of bitterest uphappiness.

Especial to The Times. Dispatch.)
NEW YORK, December G.-There Is
good authority for tho statement that
plans are under consideration whereby
Louisville and Nashville, will lease Nash
VILE, Chattanooga and st. Louis and it
self be leased BY Atlantic Coast Line. up
to the present time the matter has not
been definitely determined. but It Is al
together likely that the rate Of dividend
in each case will be Z per cent per NJ
nun. Il The object OF such a change In tho
relations OF these roads to one another
Is obvious and that it is the logical out
come OF the present situation is admit
ted in high Atlantic Coast Line circles.
The leases would tend to simplify or
ganization so that the roads could be
operated as a single system Under such
icircun,s tances it can hardly be questioned
that Atlantic Coast Line would secure
considerable surplus earnings from the
operations Of the other roads over and
above the dividends guaranteed. The
guarantee OF Chattanooga stock by Louis
Vile and Nashville would be very strong
and while Atlantic Coast Lines gliaran-
tee OF louisville and Nashville might not
be considered to have equal strellg tn a.
first It is felt that in time It would en-.
title louisville to be considered among
the choicest OF guaranteed stocks.
