[Sarasvati21]

As you can most likely tell, the beginning of the work is devoted to discussing the environment he grew up in; he is commenting on the solitude he felt growing up.

He then says "Then-- in my childhood-- in the dawn of a most stormy life--was drawn from ev'ry depth of good and ill the mystery which binds me still--" Poe then goes on to describe where this "mystery" came from through the use of both visual and auditory imagery (torrent/fountain, red cliffs of the mountain, thunder, etc). The cloud bit at the end is what threw me off,-- "And the cloud that took the form (when the rest of heaven was blue) of a demon in my view--" but I came to the conclusion that the "demon in my view" is the same as the "mystery which binds me still."

Hope it helps,
Sarasvati
