Edgar Allan Poe Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849
Birthday: January 19
Death: October 7
And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revelers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
