Edgar Allan Poe Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849
Birthday: January 19
Death: October 7
There was a discordant hum of human voices! There was a loud blast as of many trumpets! There was a harsh grating as of a thousand thunders! The fiery walls rushed back! An outstretched arm caught my own as I fell, fainting, into the abyss. It was that of General Lasalle. The French army had entered Toledo. The Inquisition was in the hands of its enemies.
