What does your poem really mean about Eldorado? And why did you write it?

Dear Karen,

I'm sorry, I really can't answer that. Sadly, I passed away in 1849. I apologize.

Regards, Edgar A. Poe

This poem wrote by Edgar Allan Poe concerning the way of life we wanted to thread on and the profession we like to get. In short, the title alone suggests our ideal in life. El Dorado according to Mr. Noah Webster is the place where treasures found. So, by the title alone we can picture out a wonderful milieu. But El dorado according to Poe is nowhere to be found. But I think we can find true happiness in heaven, that is life after death.

Some times people who are looking to find a special place are really looking to find......

Gaily bedight,
   A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
   Had journeyed long,
   Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

   But he grew old-
   This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
   Fell as he found
   No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

   And, as his strength
   Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
   "Shadow," said he,
   "Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"

   "Over the Mountains
   Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
   Ride, boldly ride,"
   The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"



......Should I define The Undefinable?

The poem is written to tell the tail of Sir Walter Religh and his last trip in 1616 in search of gold.
