• “But we loved with a love that was more than love— / I and my Annabel Lee— / With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven / Coveted her and me.”
• “I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”
• “Thy grace, thy more than beauty, / Shall be an endless theme of praise, / And love—a simple duty.”
• “For passionate love is still divine / I lov’d her as an angel might / With ray of the all living light / Which blazes upon Edis’ shrine.”
• “Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.”
