      Grinds hard stones to meal;
      Slays king, ruins town,
      And beats high mountain down.

    The stories of Poe always intrigued me ever since I left my first secondary school. To thank the board of whom set the works of Poe as syllabus would not be the first thing one would ever consider in all great consideration. It is in the end that we all die consumed of what work we weaved in our own lifetime. Though only a lowly humble acting student I would like to announce a final Goodbye to Sir Lee for his work and thank you for your contributions towards literary arts by tributing this work.

    Poe loved his cat, a tortoiseshell named Catarina. He used to send her his love in letters he wrote home when travelling on business. She lay on Mrs. Poe to keep her warm when she was dying, as they were poor & only had Poe's cape to put over her. His stories demand that you confront evil & explore controversial moral issues, in order to understand & --- if necessary --- combat them. He points out in this story that the mutilation of the cat might even divide the narrator from the mercy of God. In an era when animal welfare organizations were just coming into being, his attitude was very farsighted & broad-minded. But then, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar looks at the ethical issues of keeping a dying man on life support, just out of scientific curiosity. He asks, just because we CAN do it, is that enough justification TO do it? He demands that people look at things which make them very uncomfortable --- & that has won for him the most virulent, warped criticism I have ever encountered for any author.
