“Kirstie Alley has signed a deal with Jenny Craig. I don’t want to say she’s gotten big but if “Cheers” was on today, she’d be Norm.”

Edgar Allan Poe

was born on this date in 1809.

Once upon a midnight dreary,
As I pondered weak and weary,
Over many quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
As I nodded, nearly napping,
Suddenly there came a tapping As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.
“‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered,”
“tapping at my chamber door,
Only this and nothing more.”

“The Raven,”
Edgar Allan Poe

The Library of Congress has a wealth of material on Poe available on-line.
