Me, Maybe?

Another late night and incorrigible media. So I will share a favorite poem, that I've yet to fully memorize.




Elizabeth

Elizabeth, it surely is most fit
Logic and common usage so so commanding,
In thy own book that first thy name be writ,
Zeno and other sages notwithstanding;
And I have other reasons for so doing
Besides my innate love of contradiction;
Each poet-- if a poet-- in pursuing
The Muses thro' their bower of Truth or Fiction
Has studied very little of his part,
Read nothing, written less-- in short's a fool
Endued with neither soul, nor sense, nor art,
Being ignorant of one important rule,
Employed in even the theses of the school--
Called-- I forget the heathenish Greek name--
Called anything, its meaning is the same,
"Always write first things uppermost in the heart."

-Edgar Allen Poe
