A great poem catapults us into another order of perception. It indicates something even more essential beyond language. It introduces us to an experience so moving and true that it makes us feel at ease. In bad or indifferent poetry, the words are all there is. Edgar Allan Poe's poem “Annabel Lee” is a great poem, not because it is popular or classical, but because of its underlined message. "Annabel Lee" is a poem of death, love and beauty. It captures the narrator's interpretation of these three ideas through his feelings and thoughts for a woman. The narrator, Edgar Allan Poe, becomes infatuated at a young age with the poem's character, Annabel Lee. Even after her death, his love for her only grows and grows stronger, revealing that they were meant to last forever. So, it is clear that in "Annabel Lee" Edgar Allan Poe describes the death of a lovely woman, his lovely woman with words of eternal love. It all began "many and many years ago, in a kingdom by the sea" ( Poe 1-2). They fell in love when they were just children in the kingdom by the sea, which is a fantastic setting. He makes it seem like a fairy tale, a heaven on earth, not very real, not very true, but Poe proves otherwise. The fantasy setting intensifies their relationship and also indicates that both Annabel Lee and Poe came from two different worlds, but through love it became easy to see each other as the union of both places. They “loved with a love that was more than love” (Poe 9), a love so strong and powerful that nothing could get in the way. Indeed, the emotion they shared with each other was more than just love. “But our love was far stronger than love” (Poe 27). That emotion was much bigger than… half the paper… eternal and alive. “Annabel Lee,” by Edgar Allan Poe, is a work of art that represents loss, love, and beauty. The narrator, Poe, grieves the loss of his one true love, his lovely woman. Every thought, every feeling and every dream he encountered had a lot to do with the love he shared with his beloved. She was dearest to him, so dear that she was his whole life. Without her, there was nothing in his life; his life was left empty, empty and empty. For this reason he could not see himself separated from her and therefore kept her by his side in everything. The highest of the angels, known as the “winged seraphim of heaven” (Poe 11), could not even come among them. They had something special, something that ignored all the evil and something that was simply innocent and pure. They had the emotions, feelings and experience of everlasting love.
