THE Sadness of October 7th, 1849..... "And when," I said, "is this most melancholy of topics (Death) most poetical?"--the answer here also, is obvious--"When it most closely allies itself to Beauty: the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world..."---Edgar Allan Poe, April, 1846.
