Edgar Allen Poe
To Helen the tone is Sad He choose this because this is the type of writing he likes to write. It gives the poem meaning because it expreses his feelings.
1.Both of his parents died 2. Brother died and sister went crazy. 3. Lived in Baltimore 4. Maried 13 year old cousin 5. His wife died in 1847 6. He died in 1849
To Helen Helen, Thy beuty is to me Like those Nicaean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face Thy naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandur that was rome. Lo! in you brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agante lamp within thy hand! Ah, Psyce, from the relions which Are Holy- Land!
