An Enigma By Edgar Allan Poe
The Name Sarah Anna Lewis is the name of the woman who cared for Poes aunt,
Mrs. Clemm when Poe was traveling. She was dear to him because she advised
him on financial matters and he promoted her Poetry even though he was
critical of it. There is no record of them having ever being romantically
involved.

1848 was a time in poe's life when his wife was dead. Perhaps this sarah
hanna lewis was a woman he found to satisfy him before he dies the
following year

Wat i've noticed in the poem "An Enigma" is that if u write down the
letters to the lines they correspond to, for example 1st line 1st letter,
2nd line 2nd letter etc. then u end up with the name Sarah Anna Lewis, and
as is my understanding, this is the woman who Poe had sent this poem to in
the first place, other than this it just seems to be criticising
shakespeare and his whole style of writing a sonnet very harshly...

In a collection of Poe's poems, a footnote to this poem said that if you
want to understand this enigma take the first letter of the first line, the
second letter of the second line and so on, and you'll find the name of the
girl to whom Poe addresses the sonnet!!

Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet
