AN ENIGMA by Edgar Allan Poe (1848)
"Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce, "Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet. Through all the flimsy things we see at once As easily as through a Naples bonnetTrash of all trash!- how can a lady don it? Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuffOwl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it." And, veritably, Sol is right enough. The general tuckermanities are arrant Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparentBut this is, now- you may depend upon itStable, opaque, immortal- all by dint Of the dear names that he concealed within 't. -- THE END --
