Description Edgar Allan Poe Born in 1809, Edgar Allan Poe had a profound impact on American and international literature as an editor, poet, and critic Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow: You are not wrong who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand– How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep–while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? Analyzing the communication context is preparation for interpreting and evaluating a text. For this assignment, it is recommended that you select a text that you like and about which you feel a sense of intrigue or curiosity, whether it be a poem, short story, or play. If you are interested in the text, there is probably something about it – the times, the culture, the personalities, the politics – that make it interesting and worthy of attention.
