Poe, Edgar Allan: An Enigma - ZaunköniG - 11.06.2007 An Enigma "Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce, "Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet. Through all the flimsy things we see at once As easily as through a Naples bonnet-- Trash of all trash?--how can a lady don it? Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff-- Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff Twirls into trunk-paper while you con it." And, veritable, Sol is right enough. The general tuckermanities are arrant Bubbles--ephemeral and so transparent-- But this is, now,--you may depend on it-- Stable, opaque, immortal--all by dint Of the dear names that lie concealed within't. |
