Chad the Bird braves a trip through The Nevermore Haunt!

Today is the 177th anniversary of the passing of Edgar Allan Poe. It is, to your admin, a day to memorialise our dear Mr. Poe, making not so much mention of his death but, rather, of his life and his work. In honour of Mr. Poe, I wish to share with you a poem penned by Lambert A. Wilmer (Horace in Philadelphia) "To Edgar A. Poe," first published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1838 as words of encouragement during an exceptionally low period in Poe's career. I feel the words truly capture Mr. Poe's tenacious spirit. Rest in Peace, dear Mr. Poe. You are dearly missed.

"What object has the poet’s prayer?
(If poets have the grace to pray;)
Petitions he for sumptuous fare,
For gold--for garments rich and rare,
(For which the owners oft forget to pay;)
Asks he for houses or extended lands,
Rich harvests, ripening in the fervid ray
Of August suns;--or credit that commands
Another’s purse, (if back’d by good security
And fair financial prospects in futurity.)
Say do the poet’s ardent wishes seize
On objects such as these?
No:--if the genuine spark is there,
A careless mortal you shall see,
Unfetter’d by the world and free--
Unlike what C[lark]e and W[illi]s are.
A sordid mind was never blent
With genius;--such accompaniment
Would be like brazen cow-bells rung
While heavenly Caradori sung.
Praise is the subject of the poet’s sighs;
Neglect, the atmosphere in which he dies.
And yet, true genius, (like the sun
With bats and owls,) is little noted;
But when his glorious course is run,
His griefs forgot, his labors done,
Then is he prais’d, admired, and quoted!
Dull mediocrity, meanwhile
Along his level turnpike speeds,
And fame and fortune are his meeds;
While merit wants one cheering smile,
How bless’d stupidity succeeds!
But let the heavenly gifted mind
Not hopeless mourn, if men are blind,
And imbecility prevails;
Time, sternly frowning on the base
Shall sweep the poor ephemeral race
To where oblivion tells no tales.
As autumn’s rapid breezes sweep
Ten thousand insects to the deep.
But the same wind whose angry tones
Sends small dull craft to Davy Jones,
Is but an impulse to convey
The nobler vessel o’er the sea;--
So thou dear friend, shalt haply ride
Triumphant through the swelling tide
With fame thy cynosure and guide.
So may it be.--tho’ fortune now
Averts her face, and heedless crowds
To blocks, like senseless Pagans, bow;--
Yet time shall dissipate the clouds,
Dissolve the mist which merit shrouds,
And fix the laurel on thy brow.
There let it grow; and there ‘twould be
If justice rul’d and men could see.
But reptiles are allow’d to sport
Their scaly limbs in great Apollo’s court.
Thou once did whip some rascals from the fane
O let thy vengeful arm be felt again."

I would like to thank and credit The World of Poe blog who supplied this poem in full and provided the information regarding it.

When we decided to build our haunted attraction in an historic building from the 1880’s, on foundations that date back much earlier, we knew it could be a little spooky. Many folks who work at Nevermore have reported strange occurrences. We try to keep on good terms with the spirits here.
