Read the excerpt from "Annabel Lee," by Edgar Allan Poe. But we loved with a love that was more than love— I and my Annabel Lee— With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me. How does the excerpt reflect Poe’s ideas in "The Poetic Principle"? The images of love are the “Rhythmical Creation of Beauty” that Poe outlines. The story of Annabel Lee’s life creates the “satisfaction of the Reason” that Poe describes. The angels of heaven are described with the “incitements of Passion” that Poe explains. The feelings of love are explained using the “lessons of Truth” that Poe explains.
