The Fall of the House of Usher 1

So here are a few of the binaries from the poem:   - Sea / Wind / Nature (=emotions of the poet) VS the kingdom (everyday life) - Transcendantal love VS untimely death  - The Ideal (Eidolon, Plato), Fiction VS Reality    For the Romantic poet, there's but two ways to transcend reality and death, and to briefly have access to the ideal world of Ideas : Art, and Religion. We also took a look at a painting called  The Wanderer Above The Sea Of Clouds  by Austrian p...
