Large, big-shouldered and calmly slow of speech, Virginia-born Jack Beal does not consider his pensive portrayals of present-day odalisques as outright fantasy.

As yesterday's meeting at Memorial Church showed...

Poe suggests that Eleanora's appearance from the dead came when the narrator (Steven in the movie) was hovering on the edge of total insanity. It was, perhaps, the power of his mental abberration that brought his lover back...
