"The Haunted Palace" is a vivid and haunting poem by Edgar Allan Poe that tells the story of a once magnificent palace that has since fallen into disrepair and become haunted. Symbolically, the poem is often interpreted as an allegory for the human mind that has succumbed to mental illness or despair. Initially, the palace is described as beautiful and harmonious, full of music and light. However, as the poem progresses, a darkness takes over, and the palace becomes a shadow of its former self, filled with "evil things, in robes of sorrow." The transformation serves as a powerful metaphor for the fragility of sanity and the effects of time and tragedy on the human spirit.
