“From childhoods hour I have not been
As others were – I have not seen
As others saw – I could not bring
My passions from a common spring
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone…”
From “Alone” by Edgar Allen Poe, 1903.
