Eleonora
Eleonora, story by Poe, in The Gift (1842). This brief romance tells of a youth reared with his cousin Eleonora in the beautiful Valley of the Many‐Colored Grass. They fall in love, but she dies after he pledges never to wed “any daughter of Earth.” Grieving, he goes to a strange city to serve at the gay court of the king, where he falls in love with and weds “the seraph Ermengarde.” One night he hears a “familiar and sweet voice” absolve him of his vow “for reasons which shall be made known to thee in Heaven.”
