P.S. If you ever wondered about the riddle "Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?" The answer is that "both are written upon endlessly." Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, was a contemporary of Edgar Alan Poe, but while both authors was the progenitor of an entire new genre (Dodgson invented modern children's adventures; Poe invented the murder mystery.) Dodgson's contributions were largely ignored by literati of his day, while Poe was often the subject of literary journal articles. Thus, this little dig insinuating that Poe's sudden prominence was a form of madness.
