Do anyone know if Vladimir Nabokovs was ispirated by this poem when he wrote the novel 'Lolita'? The main character lost his child love, whos name was Annabel Lee. |

This is one of many that he has written. And I love it, Edgar Allen Poe was a brilliant writer. Annabel Lee is my favorite poem that he has written. And The Tell Tale Heart is my favorite story that he wrote. ^-^ The things Poe writes are wicked and twisted and also very lovely. |

In regards to the post wondering why he mentioned “Sea” in every stanza, I believe it shows obsession repeating himself over and over shows the passion for his lover. He was obsessed with her. Edgar Allan Poe was a brilliant writer. I commend him on his works. |

Why does he mention the 'sea' in every stanza?
It's a wonderful love poem, but I don't understand the meaning of the 'sea', is it eternity he means? |

This poem should be like this read all i wrote please!
Annabel Lee
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes! - that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the side of the sea. |

Poe is so amazing and so easy to get immersed in...even after all these years he still inspires so much...check out the Tiger Army song of the same name...it's fantastic. |
