The City in the Sea" - A poem about a sunken city ruled by Death, where the "ghouls" and "ghosts" wander.The poem depicts a joyful narrator who carelessly lets time go by as he asks for another drink of ale, saying he will drain another glass. He enjoys the "hilarious visions" and "queerest fancies" that enter his brain while drinking. What to make of all this, of course I knew not. Here was art undoubtedly — thatdid not surprise me — all roads, in the ordinary sense, are works of art; nor can I say that there was much to wonder at in the mere excessof art manifested; all that seemed to have been done, might have been done here— with such natural ‘capabilities’ (as they have it in the books on Landscape Gardening) — with very little labor and expense. No; it was not the amount but the characterof the art which caused me to take a seat on one of the blossomy stones and gaze up and down this fairy-like avenue for half an hour or more in bewildered admiration. One thing became more and more evident the longer I gazed: an artist, and one with a most scrupulous eye for form, had superintended all these arrangements.

Bayard wanted to write a book about the “origin” years of the real-life poet Edgar Allan Poe to trace the formation of the poet the world has been celebrating since. The author was particularly interested in Poe’s brief stay in the United States Military Academy since a military academy is not an ideal place for any writer to become one. Unfortunately, there were no resources available for Bayard to explore the poet’s time at the military academy. “The only records that exist are the court-martial records,” Bayard told Tudum.

I knew from the off that I needed to give detective Landor reasons to fall in love with this Edgar. I had to give him reasons to be swept away and be amused at how smart he is, but also how stupid he is. And I thought that was going to be a really interesting territory to play with.” The lake was deep — at some points thirty feet — but the rivulet seldom exceeded three, while its greatest width was about eight. Its bottom and banks were as those of the pond — if a defect could have been attributed to them, in point of picturesqueness, it was that of excessive neatness.
