Abstract
Edgar All Poe, a great admirer of Kant, shows Kantian influence in his writings particularly in his poetry. Both Passion and Truth demand a precision and a homeliness which, according to Poe are absolutely antagonistic to Beauty. On the other hand, Truth and Beauty go together. Thus the paper aims at correlating poetry with beauty and music which is explored by Poe when he talks of refrain in the construction of The Raven.
