A tribute to Edgar Allan Poe's Annabel Lee. Please see the complete poem below. *Stock photos used in making this image can be found here. *After some thought and wise advice I decided that the orginal Annabel Lee image needed some improvements. Therefore I have submitted this updated version. Thanks to those who commented on the original.
All comments and suggestions are welcomed!

My forgotten favorite.
This may a bit long, but I felt that an excerpt could not do the poem justice.
ANNABEL LEE
by Edgar Allan Poe.
1849
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!–that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling–my darling–my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
THE END

Very nice image Rebecca. You put a lot of work and effort into this image and it has paid off. This is very beautiful yet dark and mysterious. Well done. 10++ P.S. Keep and eye on Jeanne, it can't decide where to go. Stay safe.

No fair using Poe, now my vote is a little biassed here. Using another quote "convinced myself, I seek not to convince"

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

"Thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its' wings but cannot fly". ~ Kahlil Gibran.
this is amazing for really catching the feel of Poe; i think the best touch was not making it black & white but rather that manilla color. well done!

"Violence is the last resort of the incompetent" (I. Asimov)
This version is even better. I don't know how much has changed, but the whole masterpiece fits togethor seemlessly. It really portrays a cold feeling. I give this one a 10 and I honestly hope you win. :-)

Great illustration for a great poem! This gets a 10/10 from me.
But I might be a bet biassed: I'm a Poe-lover myself ;-)
