    "He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
    He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
    It happened calmly, on its own,
    The way the night comes when day is done."

    That wasn't correct; the quote comes from one of Poe's "Dreams" manuscripts which is poetry but not accessable, at least not yet.

    It's a really pretty quote, though.
