An early tale combining the fatal love of the romantic poets like Byron with a shocking double suicide. Bespeaks perhaps of Poe's unsuccessfullove life at that point where an old flame taken from him by her family(Emily Royster)marries another. In Venice the British poet comprehends the despair of the lady who nearly lets her baby drown except that he dives in rescues the child. That encounter seals their bond and the final pact. As the poet discusses the situation with the narrator in poetic and cryptic terms word comes the lady is dead. The poet dies simultaneously, joined with her now forever in the beyond. Feverishly romantic. Try www.eapoe.org for possible articles on the story in the Poe Studies section.
