Edgar Allan PoeEvery poem should remind the reader that they are going to die.
About This Quote
Poems are written within our mortality. Poems are meant to bring us closer to the moment that is our mortality. When we read a poem, we find ourselves in the mind of the poet, and if we pay close attention, we can see that all poems are predictions of death. Every poem reminds us of our impending death, and this is what makes them so beautiful.
