An Enigma

An Enigma: Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories.

“Seldom we find,” says Solomon Don Dunce,
“Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet.
Through all the flimsy things we see at once
As easily as through a Naples bonnet—
Trash of all trash!—how can a lady don it?
