Edgar Allan Poe Quote

While, like a ghastly rapid river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush out forever
And laugh — but smile no more.


"The Haunted Palace" (1839), st. 5.


While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever And laugh — but smile no more.

While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever And laugh — but smile no more.

While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever And laugh — but smile no more.

While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever And laugh — but smile no more.
