Pas besoin de formation scientifique pour parler d'astrophysique et d'astronomie: Edgar Allan Poe revendique une m thode personnelle bas e sur l'instinct po tique, qui est aussi l'instinct de sym trie, essence po tique de l'Univers, de cet Univers qui, dans la perfection de sa sym trie, est simplement le plus sublime des Po mes . Beaucoup des affirmations qu'avance Edgar Allan Poe dans son essai po tique la destination des cieux sentent l'opium -mais peut- tre doit-on ces relents son traducteur, l'illustre Charles Baudelaire. Dans un m lange orientalisant et baroque, les th or mes de Newton, Kepler ou Copernic sont confirm s une nouvelle fois par l'intuition d'une Unit originelle vers laquelle tendraient tous les atomes de notre univers. En envisageant ces ph nom nes d'un point de vue po tique, la vie devient une succession de spasmes s' chelant de contraction en r traction.
El miedo al enterramiento en vida era muy com n en la poca, y Edgar Allan Poe obtuvo provecho literario de ello. En este relato, el narrador an nimo describe en primera persona un trastorno que le aqueja, caracterizado por ataques de una afecci n singular que los m dicos coinciden en denominar catalepsia. Esta enfermedad lo lleva con frecuencia a p rdidas de conciencia muy similares a la muerte, lo que conduce al personaje a un terror p nico a ser enterrado vivo en alguna de tales circunstancias: La mayor de las desgracias posibles, afirma. A fin de que se comprenda esta fobia, el narrador enumera diversos casos probados de personas enterradas vivas. En el primer caso, la tragedia fue descubierta mucho m s tarde, al ser reabierta la cripta. Il est certains sujets portant en eux un int r t poignant, mais qui causent trop d'horreur pour qu'on puisse l gitimement les traiter dans une fiction. Les romanciers, s'ils ne veulent offenser ou d go ter le lecteur, doivent viter de les mettre en oeuvre. On ne peut y toucher que sanctionn et soutenu par la majest du vrai. Le passage de la B r sina, le tremblement de terre de Lisbonne, la peste de Londres, le massacre de la Saint-Barth lemy, la mort des cent vingt-trois prisonniers touff s dans le trou noir de Calcutta, nous font passer par la plus intense des souffrances voluptueuses. Mais c'est le fait, c'est la r alit historique qui nous meuvent dans ces r cits. Invent s de toutes pi ces, nous les consid rerions avec horreur. Je viens de mentionner les plus augustes et les plus formi-dables calamit s dont on se souvienne. Notre fantaisie y est impressionn e par la grandeur autant que par la nature de la catastrophe. Mais je n'ai pas besoin de rappeler au lecteur que, dans la liste longue et fatale des infortunes humaines, j'aurais pu choisir des exemples individuels plus satur s d'horreur, qu'aucun de ces vastes d sastres. La v ritable mis re, la souffrance extr me choient au petit nombre seul et non pas la multitude. Remercions un Dieu de mis ricorde d'avoir r serv les agonies derni res l'homme-unit et d'en avoir pr serv l'homme-foule.
In "The Premature Burial", the first-person unnamed narrator describes his struggle with things such as "attacks of the singular disorder which physicians have agreed to term catalepsy," a condition where he randomly falls into a death-like trance. This leads to his fear of being buried alive ("The true wretchedness," he says, is "to be buried while alive."). He emphasizes his fear by mentioning several people who have been buried alive. In the first case, the tragic accident was only discovered much later, when the victim's crypt was reopened. In others, victims revived and were able to draw attention to themselves in time to be freed from their ghastly prisons. The narrator reviews these examples in order to provide context for his nearly crippling phobia of being buried alive. As he explains, his condition made him prone to slipping into a trance state of unconsciousness, a disease that grew progressively worse over time. He became obsessed with the idea that he would fall into such a state while away from home, and that his state would be mistaken for death. He extracts promises from his friends that they will not bury him prematurely, refuses to leave his home, and builds an elaborate tomb with equipment allowing him to signal for help in case he should awaken after "death".

El relato se inicia con la siguiente cita del moralista franc s Jean de la Bruy re: "Ce grand malheur, de ne pouvoir tre seul", tomada de su obra Caract res. Dicha cita puede traducirse: Qu gran desgracia la de no poder estar solo. La misma cita puede encontrarse en el primer cuento de Poe, Metzengerstein. Tras superar una enfermedad no definida, el narrador pasa el tiempo en un caf londinense. Fascinado por la multitud que observa pasar a trav s de la ventana, considera los distintos tipos y personajes (nobles, amanuenses, comerciantes, abogados...), y el aislamiento a que est n sometidos, a pesar de vivir api ados en la gran ciudad. Al caer la tarde, el narrador se fija en a decrepit old man, some sixty-five or seventy years of age (un anciano decr pito de unos sesenta y cinco o setenta a os). Era de escasa estatura, flaco y aparentemente muy d bil. Vest a ropas tan sucias como harapientas. El narrador, lleno de curiosidad, decide dejar el caf y seguir a este hombre. ste conduce al narrador por tiendas y comercios, sin comprar nunca nada, hasta acabar en una zona muy pobre de la ciudad, para regresar otra vez al coraz n de la misma. La persecuci n se prolonga a lo largo de toda la noche y todo el d a siguiente. Finalmente, exhausto, el narrador se enfrenta cara a cara al extra o anciano, quien, sin darse cuenta de haber sido seguido, pasa de largo. El narrador sospecha, al verlo perderse de nuevo entre la multitud, que debe de ser un terrible criminal, llam ndolo el hombre de la multitud. Le narrateur est assis dans un caf londonien et regarde avec un grand int r t la foule qui se presse dans la rue. Il classe ainsi les passants dans diff rentes cat gories sociales suivant leur habillement et leur physionomie. Fascin par la vue d'un vieil homme l'expression tr s particuli re, il d cide de le suivre travers ses d ambulations apparemment erratiques et remarque qu'il semble tr s mal l'aise d s que la foule devient clairsem e. Apr s l'avoir suivi toute la nuit et la journ e du lendemain dans diff rents quartiers de Londres, le narrateur, puis , s'arr te devant le vieil homme et le regarde bien en face sans m me attirer son attention. Le narrateur, abandonnant sa filature, en arrive la conclusion que le vieil homme est un homme des foules qui refuse d' tre seul .
The story is introduced with the epigraph "Ce grand malheur, de ne pouvoir tre seul" - a quote taken from The Characters of Man by Jean de La Bruy re. It translates to This great misfortune, of not being able to be alone. This same quote is used in Poe's earliest tale, "Metzengerstein". After an unnamed illness, the unnamed narrator sits in an unnamed coffee shop in London. Fascinated by the crowd outside the window, he considers how isolated people think they are, despite "the very denseness of the company around". He takes time to categorize the different types of people he sees. As evening falls, the narrator focuses on "a decrepit old man, some sixty-five or seventy years of age", whose face has a peculiar idiosyncrasy, and whose body "was short in stature, very thin, and apparently very feeble" wearing filthy, ragged clothes of a "beautiful texture". The narrator dashes out of the coffee shop to follow the man from afar. The man leads the narrator through bazaars and shops, buying nothing, and into a poorer part of the city, then back into "the heart of the mighty London". This chase lasts through the evening and into the next day. Finally, exhausted, the narrator stands in front of the man, who still does not notice him. The narrator concludes the man is "the type and genius of deep crime" due to his inscrutability and inability to leave the crowds of London. Le narrateur est assis dans un caf londonien et regarde avec un grand int r t la foule qui se presse dans la rue. Il classe ainsi les passants dans diff rentes cat gories sociales suivant leur habillement et leur physionomie.
