MACABRIOUS STORIES VOLUME 1
ACCORDING TO CHARLES BAUDLIER
Edgar Allan Poe as you've never seen him before!
"Misery is multifaceted. The wretchedness of the world is manifold. It dominates the majestic horizon like the rainbow whose colors are just as varied – so distinct and yet, at times, so entwined. Dominate the majestic horizon like the rainbow! How is it that I derive from beauty a kind of loathing? From a symbol of unity and peace to a dummy of pain? But as in morality evil is the consequence of good, so in reality, in the same way, it is joy that begets sorrow; whether the recollection of a past happiness causes the anguish of the present, or the anxieties rooted in ecstasies which maybe they once were."
