Eureka
“Outside France [Eureka] . . . has been neglected, but I do not think Poe was wrong in the importance he attached to it. . . . [I]t was a very daring and original notion to take the oldest of the poetic themes—older even than the story of the epic hero— .. . and treat it in an absolutely contemporary way... Secondly, it is full of remarkable intuitive guesses that subsequent scientific discoveries have confirmed.” W. H. Auden [From the back cover]
