"... The writer who neglects punctuation, or mis-punctuates, is liable to be misunderstood -- &c...." -- from Poe's "Marginalia", item Nr V of the 1850 Griswold posthumous edition of Poe's "Works" ("Literati" - or, later, third - volume), repeated/reprinted from Febr., 1848 Graham's Magazine issue, both versions available, on line, at www.eapoe.org, among "Works - Miscellanies", full text!). Yours sincerely, Raven's Shade (Belgium).
