Default Eternal Darkness and literature

In the latest movie I noticed the name of Edgar Allan Poe.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering... fearing... doubting...'

Two weeks ago I had to learn about that writer (and others) for a test. This is some info on him:

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
Edgar Allan Poe's horror stories have become famous, but he also wrote poetry, a novel and criticism. In many of his writings he showed deep psychological insight, as will become clear in the following story (and I'm not going to type out the whole story:eek:). Poe is also the inventor of the detective genre with his stories 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Purloined Letter'.

And the following story was 'The Tell-Tale Heart', a very good short story.

I'm not sure if that quote in the movie is from that story, but it sounds familiar to me...




My point is: this game is different from others. Remember the Latin???
