Edgar Allan Poe (19 January 1809 - 7 October 1849 / Boston)

i love this poem and all poe's stories but i cant figure wat the theme would be...

i really liked this poem

‘Alone’ is poem of much precision in the meaning of solitude. It uses the words which rhyme to great extents, and deposits patience on our minds. For sure, the poem resounds to let us benefit. It keeps us alert with the relevant words, and homes in on our own feelings.
The first line has wonderfully let our thoughts enter our mind. It kept our drift on the matter of loneliness and slumber; just as a baby or infant can not find enough energy to keep to others, or even other people’s traits. The problem of being alone is to be investigated. This is the natural course of activity - to keep a ‘common spring’. The heart has been used in that line of lines to awaken us and give or take solace. Definitely the speaker is wanting to be alone, and he stresses this in the line, ‘And all I loved, I loved alone.’ It is highly loved by me, as he is saying he loves!
‘Still’ he binds to his childhood hours, and still he is comforted by them as a binding force.
I prefer to anything else, the imagery in the middle of the poem letting us gape at his loneliness with the sun and the lightning and the torrent. These do make the binding take great effect, as the poem is called alone by binding together the words that are concocted for the task. The task has been to eradicate the demon in you.

Wow! ! He sure could write! ! !

Fantastic Poem. Has great meaning for me. One of the ways of appreciating a piece of art is by identifying. This is exactly how I feel about this poem.

Many people have had been through the experience of not fitting in. It may be for a variety of reasons. In Alone, by Edgar Allen Poe, the speaker expresses himself and his feelings about not fitting in. 'From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; ' Not only is he alone in action, he is alone in thought. All the hardships he has suffered, he has suffered alone. All the joys he has experienced, he has also enjoyed alone. The speaker has trouble relating to other people his feelings about things. He has learned to take poeple's indifference as it comes, ' From every depth of good and ill'.

I can really relate to this and feel it strongly. A very powerful piece.

If you are familiar with Poe’s life you would know that he stood alone with his thoughts and his feelings. Only on paper would he share his inner-most fears and joys. In 'Alone' he is really not stating that he is physically alone, but that he is alone in his thoughts-regressing back to his memories of an eventful, spirited time. This is what makes him different from others and no one will ever understand why he feels this way. All that he has experienced he has felt alone, no one has felt how he has felt because he is unique. He has chosen to be and feel this way even though he is in pain; he has accepted this 'good or ill' even though people may see this as a mystery. I can relate to this poem, and that is why I have studied it over and over since I began reading it back in 1993. Poe was ahead of his time almost prophesizing his end since his death was a “mystery.” And remember, his terrible suffering was reflected in almost every story and poem he wrote.

I have always loved reading his writing. He was a master, and this poem is sad and touching. You can almost read his heart.

But still we ought to experience these obscure depths to begin seeing some light and some unity....and so on... until....
