[UA] Edgar Allen Poe and ciphers

[Kintaro Oe]

>There's gotta be something in all of this, either involving cryptomancy or 
>cliomancy or something.  I'm not really sure what, but I'm certain some 
>plots could come from it (use it much like the Voynich manuscript 
>elsewhere in ST, or somesuch).

ever since that ST on Poe's death, I've been convinced that it would be a 
great plot for an occult game. Something happened to Poe that has happened 
throughout history, we just know about it now because Poe was famous.

>How about this one:
>"The soul secure in her
>existence smiles at the

>its point. The stars shall
>fade away, the sun
>himself grow dim with
>age and nature sink in
>years, but thou shalt
>flourish in immortal
>youth, unhurt amid the
>war of elements, the
>wreck of matter and the
>crush of worlds."

>Bizarre, isn't it?  A hymn to the Comte (in his female aspect)?

ain't it though?
