Midnight Dreary - 9Oz Soy Wax Glass Jar Candle Edgar Allan Poe The Raven

ONLY THIS & NOTHING MORE Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven Once upon a midnight dreary... Step quietly into Edgar's library where dying embers cast strange shadows across the floor, purple curtains stir in the darkness, & somewhere beyond the chamber door... something is tapping. This candle was created to capture the haunting atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe's worlda place filled with forgotten books, velvet furniture, dim candlelight, melancholy, & the lingering presence of something that perhaps should have remained dead. ### ???? THE SCENT OF THE CHAMBER A dark & poetic combination of: ???? Absinthe ???? Sweet Tobacco ???? Dreamweaver The herbal mystery of absinthe blends with rich tobacco & a dreamy, almost otherworldly fragrance. Smoky. Mysterious. Romantic. Haunting. It's the kind of scent that belongs beside an old writing desk at midnight, surrounded by stacks of forgotten books & the faint glow of dying embers. With this poetic candle, you'll need only this... & nothing more. ### ???? ENTER EDGAR'S LIBRARY Imagine the room. December. Midnight. A single lamp burns beside an old chair. The fire is nearly gone, leaving only glowing embers. A book lies open on the desk. Then... Tap. You freeze. Tap. Tap. You tell yourself it's the wind. You tell yourself it's nothing. You walk toward the chamber door. Slowly, you open it. Darkness. Nothing more. You turn back toward the room. & then you hear it again. Tap. Tap. Tap. This time... it's coming from the window. ### POE'S RAVEN Few poems have become as recognizable as Poe's The Raven. The mysterious black bird arrives at the narrator's chamber in the dead of night & delivers a single haunting response to his questions: Nevermore. The raven becomes more than a bird. It becomes a symbol of grief, memory, obsession, & the impossibility of escaping the past. & perhaps the darkest part of the poem isn't the raven itself... It's the shadow it leaves behind. ### ???? A FEW POETIC FACTS Poe published The Raven in 1845. The poem quickly became one of his most famous works & helped establish Poe as one of America's most recognizable masters of the macabre. The raven's famous word was carefully chosen. Poe wanted the bird's repeated response to be memorable, melancholy, & capable of fitting the poem's increasingly desperate questions. Poe loved atmosphere. Dark rooms, midnight settings, mysterious sounds, death, dreams, & psychological terror appear throughout his writing. The chamber is almost a character itself. The setting grows increasingly claustrophobic as the narrator becomes consumed by grief & the presence of the raven. Poe's work often blurred the line between horror & beauty. His stories & poems weren't simply about frightening the reader. They explored grief, madness, death, obsession, & the darker corners of the human mind. ### THE CANDLE Each 8 oz candle burns approximately 26-42 hours. & when the wick finally disappears... don't let the story end. There is still plenty of fragrance remaining in the wax. Place the leftover wax into a wax warmer & enjoy approximately 10 additional hours of scent. So dim the lights. Open an old book. Pour yourself something mysterious. Light the candle. Listen carefully. Because somewhere in the darkness... something is tapping. Only this & nothing more.
