All Things Poe - 8 of Batons - Capolan Tarot Project

Instead of attempting to visually interpret another Poe story, I chose to capture a rumor of sorts surrounding Poe's gravestone. On the anniversary of his birthday each year, an unknown person leaves a half full bottle of Cognac and 3 red roses. The foreground image of the baton carrier is from Cirque de Soleil. All other images are public domain or from my personal collection.

  1. All dressed in black, the old man was
    who entered into the grave yard.
    And the tradition continues.
    Ah yes, I've heard the tale.
    Love the card, as usual. :)Bea
