I thought I should honor Poe's wife with a page for her, so here it is. This is a picture of Virginia Clemm, Edgar Allan Poe's first and only wife. She was his cousin, and only 13 when they married in 1836, but he loved her dearly. I like to think that his love POEms of Annabel Lee, Helen, The Raven etc. are about her. She died young of tuberculosis in 1847, at the age of 23.
