“Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?”, Edgar Allan Poe poignantly asked in one of his poems in 1849, an existential query that has crossed all of our minds at some point (usually during sleepless nights). In fact, the concept of life as illusion has been gnawing at human consciousness since time immemorial, from ancient shamans who called the surface of life a dream, to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, to the philosophical musings of Descartes and Kant, to popular culture – think The Matrix, Inception and pretty much most of David Lynch’s filmography. As Monica Bellucci cryptically said in Twin Peaks’ third season, “We are like the dreamer who dreams, and then lives inside the dream.”

“Untitled (Wife Eleanor)”, 1951 - Harry Callahan
“They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their grey visions they obtain glimpses of eternity, and thrill, in awaking, to find that they have been upon the verge of the great secret. In snatches, they learn something of the wisdom which is of good, and more of the mere knowledge which is of evil.”
- Edgar Allan Poe

QUOTE STARTERS VOL.I EDGAR ALLAN POE
- ❛ We loved with a love that was more than love. ❜
- ❛ Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ❜
- ❛ The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? ❜
- ❛ There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion. ❜
- ❛ Never to suffer would never to have been blessed. ❜
- ❛ Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear. ❜
- ❛ And all I loved, I loved alone. ❜
- ❛ Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute. ❜
- ❛ The best things in life make you sweaty. ❜
- ❛ There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told. ❜
- ❛ Anything is better than this agony. ❜
- ❛ You fancy me mad. ❜
- ❛ I hear all things in the heaven and in the earth. ❜
- ❛ Who dares insult us with this blasphemous mockery? ❜
- ❛ Leave my loneliness unbroken! ❜
- ❛ A more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrills every fibre of my frame. ❜
- ❛ The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. ❜
- ❛ Let my heart be still a moment. ❜
- ❛ You call it hope — It is but agony of desire. ❜
- ❛ Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or silly action for no other reason than because he knows he should not? ❜
- ❛ To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths! ❜
- ❛ The beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage. ❜
- ❛ Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive. ❜
- ❛ I have been happy, though in a dream. ❜
- ❛ Nevermore. ❜
- ❛ The truth is, I am heartily sick of this life. ❜
- ❛ I am convinced that every thing is going wrong. ❜
- ❛ The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls. ❜
- ❛ And if I died, at least I will have died for you! ❜
- ❛ It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. ❜
One of my absolute favorite writers and poets, the infamous E. A. Poe.
Forgot to post this earlier in coordination with today’s video, but I just now remembered. Lol
My latest video is finally up! It’s a review of one of my absolute favourite goth compilation albums of all time. As you can see with my attire, the concept of the compilation was a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. It turned out better than I thought it would. The video features the music of several different bands, a clip from Fall of the House of Usher starring Vincent Price, and the art of @abigail_larson - if you haven’t checked her out yet, you need to because she’s an amazing gothic artist.

I’m absolutely in love with my video editor. Before making my latest video, I decided to give my intro a little upgrade, and I’m quite glad that I did. It sounds and looks so much better! Thanks so much to @readytoglare for suggesting this editor in her videos. She’s beautiful, and she’s an Italian badass.
Since teasing this yesterday, plenty of you have asked me what it is. It’s Wondershare Filmora, and it’s magic. It has greatly improved the quality of my videos.
Music: Overture from the opera “La Favorite” by Gaetano Donizetti (1840)

Seriously, though. Aren’t you tired of it?
Instead of pouting in the corner and moaning about how goth is dead (or has disappeared), why don’t you do something more productive that helps the subculture you claim to love? Support goth musicians from the 80’s and 90’s that are still making music as well as new goth musicians that have come along.
Goth isn’t dead. You’re just an asshole whining about this because you think you’re special. Stop being a condescending dick.

Cette merveille Je bavais dessus depuis l’annonce de sa sortie, et vraiment c’est un gros coup de cœur. Non seulement il est sublime, mais en plus le choix des thèmes et des scènes pour illustrer les lames est très pertinent. Je suis particulièrement séduite par l’association de l’arcane de la Tour avec la Chute de la Maison Usher (ma carte favorite, ma nouvelle de Poe préférée … bref). Vous l’aurez compris, je suis diablement en amour avec ce petit bijou gothique et romantique à souhait

Getting into the Halloween spirit! By chance I discovered the London Horror Festival yesterday and immediately booked tickets to see two performances today! the Maydays were ABSOLUTELY incredible - absolutely amazing, creepy, funny, genius improv (inspired by The Brothers Grimm, Edgar Allan Poe and Tim Burton - could there be anything more me?) and the night was rounded off with some hilariously spooky Italian Horror Stories! ♀️#lhf2019 #londonhorrorfestival #horror #london #halloween #spooky #themaydays #italianhorror #improv #fairytales #timburton #edgarallanpoe #frankenstein #dracula #pleasancetheatre #happilyneverafter (at Pleasance Theatre)

Mab’s Drawloween Club Day 28: The Raven!
I wouldn’t feel complete in my Drawloween contributions unless Vincent Price @masterofmenace was represented and here he is from the 1963 film The Raven.
