One Response to “The 201st Birthday of Edgar Allan Poe”
There is an annual tradition that a mystery man visits Poe’s grave every year on his birthday and leaves 3 roses and a partial bottle of cognac. I read today that for the first time in 60 years and much to the disappointment of many who came to see him, the mystery man did not show with his annual gifts. Either he passed away, or decided to end the tradition on Poe’s 200th birthday last year.
