[[NOTES   Chapters 10-16]]

1. Poe is said to have told Judge Hughes during his last visit to Richmond that “Mrs. Whitman had made repeated efforts toward reconciliation, which he refused” Mrs. Whitman had no definite proof that his “Annabel Lee” was a response to her “Our Island of Dreams”, published in March. Again, she sent for the June issue of the Southern Literary Messenger a poem definitely addressed to Poe, (“Song, Isle of Rhodes, March 1849”), but to this poem she received no reply.

A writer in the Shekinah says that Mrs. Whitman told Horace Greeley that she had “seen electric lights of great brilliancy which filled the upper part of the room and remained visible for several minutes and which were observed at the same moment by three or four persons”; that she had in well lighted rooms seen heavy tables moved violently in compliance with a mental request of her own; and that holding the right hard of a medium with her right hand, while her other hand held that of a gentleman of her acquaintance, she had seen the strings of a guitar which lay in her lap, swept, at her mental suggestion, by a powerful and unseen hand for a period. of ten or fifteen minutes.

“The infant was born married; somewhere or other in the wide world was the counterpartaI half of his nature, waiting to be united to him. From this doctrine it followed that, while the true marriage Was necessarily indisoluble and eternal, being in fact not a union but a reunion it was lawful and even expedient that other unions should be dissolved as soon as the natural incompatibility became manifest and intolerable. ‘Transient marriages bring divorces. Divorces are natural until the harmonial plane is reached; there only an eternal union is natural’.”
