Happy birthday Edgar Allan Poe, born on this day in 1809.
Two fun facts:
NFL team Baltimore Ravens take their name from the Poe's famous poem. Every year on this day, the famous Poe Toaster shows up at Poe's grave site in Baltimore.
Check out all things Poe here.
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.”
-first stanza from The Raven
