You Know About the "Poe Toaster?" |
”Once upon a midnight dreary …”
on the night of January 19, 1949, a mysterious man dressed all
in black stole through the shadows of the Old Western Burying
Ground Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland and laid on the gravestone
of its most famous resident, Edgar Allan Poe, a half drunk bottle
of cognac and three red roses. This same ritual has been repeated
every January 19th, Poe’s birthday, since then.
In 1993, the cognac and roses were accompanied by a note reading,
“The torch will be passed” and since then, a younger
man has appeared. Every year, Poe scholars watch the "Poe
Toaster" from the bellfry of neighboring Westminister Church,
which overlooks the cemetary, but have never attemted to learn
the "Poe Toasters" identity. |
