Review: The Works of Edgar Allen Poe - Volume 5
The Works of Edgar Allen Poe - Volume 5 by Edgar Allan Poe
My rating: 0 of 5 stars
It appears I accidentally clicked on Volume 5 first, but how can I not love anything that starts with an essay about the philosophy of furniture and contains this line: "Yet I have heard fellows discourse of carpets with the visage of a sheep in reverie — “d’un mouton qui rêve” — who should not and who could not be entrusted with the management of their own moustachios."
Sure, between the furniture and the Romans besieging Jews it's not been at all what I expected, but so far it's wonderful.
