  • on An Acrostic by Edgar Allan Poe, on June 25, 2004
    Edgar Allan Poe is incredible. I've never seen this piece. Perhaps someone can explain "L.E.L." to me.

    On line four, it's Xantippe if, of course, he is referring to the wife of Socrates, which is all that I can relate it to.

    The Endymion reference is wonderful, I think he's trying to say that he is staying his pride in persuit of Elizabeth. There is alot more to this poem than I am aware, perhaps someone can explain.
