the poem was written about his young wife virginia who died of tuberculosis. he loved her very much and never fully recoverred from her death. she was also his younger cousin but thats a totally different story.

it wasnt virginia.. poe viewd women as perfect angelic beings. the poem was about the loss of the women in his life in general. he had numerous engagements and attempted courtships after virgina's death. he loved her yes, but not anymore than any of his other would be wives. poe was of weak character, and craved more than anything female attention.
