Fate that once denied him,
And envy that once decried
him,
And malice that belied him,
Now cenotaph his fame.

Edgar Allan Poe has sometimes been
suggested to be the real author of the
pamphlet. He had an interest in
cryptography and used it as a plot
device in several of his works, most
notably his short story "The GoldBug."
However, Poe died in 1849, long before
the pamphlets were published. The
references in the narrative to
the Civil War, which occurred in the
1860s, also cast doubt on the Poe
claims.

His poetry, closer than
any other challenge to
our complex and patient
soul, is the embodiment
of the royal
consciousness, which
with the horror looks at
the inevitability of a wild
chaos surrounding it
from every quarter.
