Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The death of a beautiful woman is beauty betrayed - frozen in time!. The loss of something so precious is life changing - as was the loss of Poe's mother when he was a toddler and his teenage wife when he was a young man!. One could mourn and ponder this kind of profound event for the rest of his artistic life - as Poe did in his poems and short stories!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
