Reading The Conqueror Worm | Alexandria
Read The Conqueror Worm by Edgar Allan Poe. Devouring all human vanity, the worm reveals Poe's darkest truth: we're merely players in a cosmic tragedy, watched by indifferent angels. Beyond horror lies profound insight - our desperate quest for immortality blinds us to life's beauty. Yet paradoxically, accepting mortality may be key to living fully.
