An Enigma - Edgar Allan Poe

An Enigma


"Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce,
"Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet.
Through all the flimsy things we see at once
As easily as through a Naples bonnet-
Trash of all trash!- how can a lady don it?
Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff-

Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff
Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it."
And, veritably, Sol is right enough.
The general tuckermanities are arrant
Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent-
But this is, now- you may depend upon it-
Stable, opaque, immortal- all by dint
Of the dear names that he concealed within 't.

Edgar Allan Poe

Well slap me stupid with a sonnet and call me Raven - just who is he calling a half wit?

Anyone who will wear a bonnet, oh, Raven, I'm so sorry, you didn't tell me. You poor little rainbow worrier.
