Povestirea descrie un proces de metempsihoză aparte: trecerea sufletului mamei (moartă la naşterea copilei) în sufletul fiicei ei.In “The Oval Portrait”, the narrator recounts a story about a painter who fell in love with a painting of his own wife, who perishes from his subsequent neglect. Within three years of Poe’s birth both of his parents had died, and he was taken in by the wealthy tobacco merchant John Allan and his wife Frances Valentine Allan in Richmond, Virginia while Poe’s siblings went to live with other families. It was the radiance of an opium-dream - and airy and spirit-lifting vision more wildly divine than the phantasies which hovered about the slumbering souls of the daughters of Delos.

I’ve always been particularly charmed by how the cruel intentions of his enemies to sully his name after Poe’s death essentially helped secure his notoriety and transform him into something not unlike a legend.

I’ve been reading this book for almost three years and it feels so good to finally have finished it! This elegant collectors edition includes over 70 of Poe's short stories, more than 40 melodious poems, and his only full-length novel, The Narrative of A. Despite the cogent rational descriptions, the narrator seems almost to be haunted by his namesake, and is losing his sanity.

I had assumed Poe primarily wrote these chilling stories filled with dark nights and graveyards, and haunting residences. The flimsy story describes an act of murder, which was meticulously planned to look like an accident, and therefore would never have been detected save for "the imp of the perverse. Aldous Huxley accused Poe’s style of vulgarity and bad taste, writing in an essay ‘ we should find it hard to forgive, shall we say, the wearing of a diamond ring on every finger.
