Happy Birthday Mr Poe

An essay by Neil Gaiman about Poe who was 200 yesterday.

"No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson.

Thanks, for that, Bob. I agree with pretty well all he says, FWIW.

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Neil is one of my favorites (can't wait for Coraline to show up in theaters--beware of the Other Mother.) I was fortunate to catch John Astin performing the one-man show on Poe, Once Upon A Midnight. It is an interesting view of a rather tortured soul.
