Edgar A. Poe "The Philosophy of composition"?

A woman dies and the one who knew her best, her lover, would be the one to eulogize her, in verse or otherwise. I think Mr. Poe was speaking of Lenore and the poem he wrote about her and her untimely death. He alludes to the fact that there is a possibility for a reunion in paradise when a beautiful woman dies and leaves a distraught mate.
