Quotes Authors Edgar Allan Poe Beauty

All EDGAR ALLAN POE Quotes about “Beauty”

  • “That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.”

  • “Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.”

  • “Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.”

  • “Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem.”

  • “To Helen Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome. Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand, Ah! Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!”

  • “There might be a class of beings, human once, but now to humanity invisible, for whose scrutiny, and for whose refined appreciation of the beautiful, more especially than for our own, had been set in order by God the great landscape-garden of the whole earth.”
