[UA] Edgar Allen Poe and ciphers

[Kintaro Oe]

>     It's funny that you bring this up, since it reminded me (something about
>the time of year, I wager) of the mysterious visitor to Poe's grave in
>Baltimore every year.  A cloaked fellow shows up every year with a bottle of
>cognac late at night on Poe's b-day and drinks to his health (or something.)
>He/she then departs, leaving behind three roses and half a bottle of cognac.
>The staff at the cemetery have orders to keep people away from the visitor.
>I believe the original visitor kept it up for over 50 years until '93, then
>left a mysterious note and another picked up the practice.  The entire thing
>is eaten up by a lot of literate Balmerians...  I find it touching, if not a
>little "Goth Chat."

reminds me of the story in Sandman where Dream meets up with that one guy 
every 100 years or so. I liked that one.

>Just as interesting is the first cipher solved, which is listed on one of
>the links from Kintaro's page:

my page? did I get lost in this conversation again?
