RE: ADSactly Literature - Edgar Allan Poe: Root of Literary Modernity (Part II)
Whenever the theme of El Cuervo, by the fantastic Edgar Allan Poe, is discussed, I can not help but associate it in a mixture of pride and melancholy with a beautiful and great book treasured by my mother: Cancionero del amor y del dolor. In that book was the poem, in the translation of the Venezuelan poet Juan Antonio Pérez-Bonalde, and its reading was recurrent at night when we met in the space of our home to read and listen, among other universal poems, the famous words of the Pajarraco "never more", delighting the family atmosphere.
Thank you for your valuable exhibition, @josemalavem. Thanks to @adsactly for showing it to us.
Thanks to you, @oacevedo, for that familiar anecdotal reference that enriches the relationship with Allan Poe's famous poem with an affective note. I've never had an experience like that; it seems very significant to me, because it tells us about the reception that the poem could have had in an environment that was not strictly literary, but, at the same time, about the irradiation that it could have had in people like you, later dedicated to literature. Greetings.
