Lithium is some truly nasty stuff, and there are much better things on the
market now, thank goodness.
Though by today's standards Poe, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln would
all be classed as Bipolar psychiatric disabilities.
Which I wonder, would they have been so great if their manic sides were
toned down?
Course coming from some who has studied it. A lot of our great artists and
politicians had undisclosed mental disabilities.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Hi, Amy. It's great to have a teacher on this list. (smile) I have
to confess that I haven't enjoyed Poe's work. It gives me the
creeps, and I guess I'd have classified it as horror fiction instead
of mystery fiction. The House of Usher gave me the creeps in
triplicate, nothing like the Rex Stout, Ellery Queen, or Agatha
Christie books I've come to love. I see your logic and can agree
with it at the intellectual level. At the heart level, I just sort
of feel... revulsion and wish I could argue the point. To me, Poe
was a deeply disturbed man who probably needed Lithium.
