    Summary

    Edgar Allen Poe goes to college as far from home as possible, expecting it to be the same as school had always been. That is until he meets Ranpo, the one and only person to ever surpass him. He tries to avoid him, but Edgar finds that he just cannot stay away from him no matter how hard he tries...

    Romance, who loves to nod and sing,
    With drowsy head and folded wing,
    Among the green leaves as they shake
    Far down within some shadowy lake,
    To me a painted paroquet
    Hath been—a most familiar bird—
    Taught me my alphabet to say—
    To lisp my very earliest word
    While in the wild wood I did lie,
    A child—with a most knowing eye.

    Of late, eternal Condor years
    So shake the very Heaven on high
    With tumult as they thunder by,
    I have no time for idle cares
    Through gazing on the unquiet sky.
    And when an hour with calmer wings
    Its down upon my spirit flings—
    That little time with lyre and rhyme
    To while away—forbidden things!
    My heart would feel to be a crime
    Unless it trembled with the strings.
