Edgar Allan Poe
A seafarer's story of when his ship was sucked into the terrifying maelström...a bottomless whirlpool of gigantic proportions and power...and how he survived to tell the tale.

I have seen the Moskoe Ström in documentaries. It is a magnificent beast to be admired and respected.
Poe is a master of finding profound beauty in horror.
I am stunned by how well this story stands the test of time. I bought a volume of all of Poe’s works at the end of the last century, when we visited the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia.
This story serves no doubt a metaphor for many different circumstances. It reminds me of the deepest moments of grief, me clinging to all I could imagine could save me, only to let go in a flash of clarity formed by distraction.
That which I clung to would have taken me down with it when it hurtled over the edge, and only then did I realize that it was grief itself I clung to.
It is also a metaphor for the ADD experience, of the outsider perceiving through distraction that which the mainström cannot fathom.
