Poe was not only the father of the modern horror story, but a great source of inspiration for the Symbolists. His gothic sensibility certainly made an impression on Charles Baudelaire, who penned the definitive translations of Poe's works.

The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe

Le Corbeau - traduction de Ch. Baudelaire

Bonus! Une autre traduction par Mallarmé! (Never saw this one before - great to learn something new.)
