Edgar Allan Poe

"In our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember."
- from "Ligeia" - Edgar Allan Poe


I love his works. Especially his poems. I knew about him a few years ago, even bought a book on him. I've blogged about him once. Read here. But then, i just stopped reading his works. In fact i stopped reading for a long period of time. And I started to read again about 2 years ago. Completely forgotten about him until today. Thanks to Design History & Culture, i did a research on the Goth culture, i found him again.

Oh yeah, i'm currently doing Design History & Culture. After a day, I'm excited of what's to come. I think it's an interesting module. Firdaus lied to me about the whole RJ thingy. Sheesh! So yeah, our assignment is to do a research on a culture different from ours and the first thing that came right into my mind is the Goth culture. Though, i'm thinking of changing my idea because the Goth culture is too vast to be summarized. BUT IT'S DAMN INTERESTING!!! Tsk!


Go check Edgar Allan Poe out. Oh, he specializes on Gothic Literature. I only knew about that a few moment ago. Haha!
And no, Goth doesn't mean having to wear black every day. ..l..
