Eleonora

'Eleonora' is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1842 in Philadelphia in the literary annual The Gift. It is often regarded as somewhat autobiographical and has a relatively 'happy' ending.
The story follows an unnamed narrator who lives with his cousin and aunt in 'The Valley of the Many-Colored Grass', an idyllic paradise full of fragrant flowers, fantastic trees, and a 'River of Silence'. It remains untrodden by the footsteps of strangers and so they live isolated but happy.
