AMERICAN ROMANTICISM!

Edgar Allen Poe

Best quotes from certain stories.....

The Masque of Red Death - "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all." Last sentence of the story. Holds more meaning than the entire story itself.

The Tell Tale Heart - "I felt that I must scream or die!" I like this quote because everyone has felt like this at least once before.

Henry David Thoreau

Walden - "i wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life"

Walt Whitman

Leaves of grass - "look for me under your boot soles"
