In reading the Wikipedia entry on Poe, I learned of this assessment by Aldous Huxley:

To this I say: hey Huxley, just drop another tab and chill.

When Love Grows Cold

A comical vintage Victorian postcard, the title of which is “When Love Grows Cold.” This version is tinted, in my postcard hunting travels I’ve seen the same image as a monotone image.

This scene depicts snow. I haven’t seen much of the real thing in the Philadelphia area, so I may need to print this out and keep it by my desk as a reminder.

The birds! The birds! How they mock him. Suffering from ennui with a side of malaise, all the young Master can do is wish for sunnier days and better circumstances as he pines away indoors.

Perhaps you can find a good use for this vintage Victorian engraving, a Gothic bit of clip art as ever there was.
