Friday here in Philadelphia, I spent visiting a couple of historical sites yesterday, and I was fortunate enough to visit the house where Edgar Allan Poe had lived during his time in Philadelphia. I also went to house where Walt Whitman lived in the later part of his life.
If you wish to read the entire poem of Edgar Poet’s “Raven'” please click on the link below.

The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

I am so glad for you …”Only this and nothing more.”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I lived in New York, I was about two miles away from the house where he lived in.

Yes, I did once. It was a tiny little thing. I could see how he would be inspired to write there.
