Frank: Welcome to "Great Unknown Moments In Literary History". Ernest: Tonight, Edgar Allan Poe and "The Raven". Edgar: "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary." Raven: You call that poetry?! Don't quit your day job! Raven: I know ducks who can rhyme better! What do you call that drivel? Edgar: I'm leaning toward "To Kill A Mockingbird". Raven: I like "Bye Bye Birdie" better!
I remember reading a science fiction novella about Poe, had he lived some twelve more years and become a Civil War brigadier general for the South.
