Colloque entre Monos et Una

by Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

una. - Ressuscité ? monos. - Oui, très belle et très adorée Una, ressuscité. Tel était le mot sur le sens mystique duquel j'avais si longtemps médité, repoussant les explications de la prêtraille jusqu'à tant que la mort elle-même vînt résoudre l'énigme pour moi. una. - La Mort ! monos. - Comme tu fais étrangement écho à mes paroles, douce Una ! J'observe aussi une vacillation dans ta démarche, - une joyeuse inquiétude dans tes yeux. Tu es troublée, oppressée par la majestueuse nouveauté de la Vie éternelle. Oui, c'était de la Mort que je parlais. Et comme ce mot résonne singulièrement ici, ce mot qui jadis portait l'angoisse dans tous les coeurs, - jetait une tache sur tous les plaisirs !

About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was orphaned at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Virginia family with whom he had a troubled relationship. He excelled in his studies of language and literature at school, and self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction, and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other well–known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.
