Eureka is a classic American poem by Edgar Allan Poe. To the few who love me and whom I love--to those who feel rather than to those who think--to the dreamers and those who put faith in dreams as in the only realities--I offer this Book of Truths, not in its character of Truth-Teller, but for the Beauty that abounds in its Truth; constituting it true. To these I present the composition as an Art-Product alone: --let us say as a Romance; or, if I be not urging too lofty a claim, as a Poem.
