I heed not that my earthly lot 
Hath little of Earth in it, 
That years of love have been forgot 
In the hatred of a minute: 
I mourn not that the desolate 
Are happier, sweet, than I, 
But that you sorrow for my fate 
Who am a passer-by.

Esto fue una experiencia maravillosa. El leer los poemas en inglés y luego releerlos en español fue una experiencia única, además que cuando los leía en inglés los iba escuchando en youtube (se encuentran desde varios videos fanmade muy lindos hasta audiolibros narrados por Basil Rathbone y Vincent Price). La traducción de esta edición es buenísima, highly recommend esta edición de Losada *chef's kiss*.

Mis poemas favoritos fueron: (algunos ya lo eran pero no los tenía en físico así que aproveché para rAYARLOS TODOOS)
- The Raven
- Bridal Ballad
- The Sleeper
- The Conqueror Worm
- Alone
- A Dream Within a Dream
- The Bells
- Annabel Lee
- Spirits of the Dead

I rarely read poems, but because this is Edgar Allan Poe (happy birthday, mate), I knew I had to read this. He really is a master of words. I found his subject in poems almost as fascinating as some of his short stories.

These are my favorites:
The Raven (of course, duh), Spirits of the Dead, Annabel Lee, For Annie, and The Bells (this one's really fun to read aloud).
