The
first
two
or
three
rounds
having
been
played
,
he
is
in
full
possession
of
the
contents
of
each
hand
,
and
thenceforward
puts
down
his
cards
with
as
absolute
a
precision
of
purpose
as
if
the
rest
of
the
party
had
turned
outward
the
faces
of
their
own
.
The
analytical
power
should
not
be
confounded
with
simple
ingenuity
;
for
while
the
analyst
is
necessarily
ingenious
,
the
ingenious
man
often
remarkably
incapable
of
analysis
.
The
constructive
or
combining
power
,
by
which
ingenuity
is
usually
manifested
,
and
which
the
phrenologists
(
I
believe
erroneously
)
have
assigned
a
separate
organ
,
supposing
it
a
primitive
faculty
,
has
been
so
frequently
seen
in
those
whose
intellect
bordered
otherwise
upon
idiocy
,
as
to
have
attracted
general
observation
among
writers
on
morals
.
Between
ingenuity
and
the
analytic
ability
there
exists
a
difference
far
greater
,
indeed
,
than
that
between
the
fancy
and
the
imagination
,
but
of
a
character
very
strictly
analogous
.
It
will
found
,
in
fact
,
that
the
ingenious
are
always
fanciful
,
and
the
truly
imaginative
never
otherwise
than
analytic
.
The
narrative
which
follows
will
appear
to
the
reader
somewhat
in
the
light
of
a
commentary
upon
the
propositions
just
advanced
.
Residing
in
Paris
during
the
spring
and
part
of
the
summer
of
18
--
I
there
became
acquainted
with
a
Monsieur
C.
Auguste
Dupin
.
This
young
gentleman
was
of
an
excellent
--
indeed
of
an
illustrious
family
,
but
,
by
a
variety
of
untoward
events
,
had
been
reduced
to
such
poverty
that
the
energy
of
his
character
succumbed
beneath
it
,
and
he
ceased
to
bestir
himself
in
the
world
,
or
to
care
for
the
retrieval
of
his
fortunes
.
By
courtesy
of
his
creditors
,
there
still
remained
in
his
possession
a
small
remnant
of
his
patrimony
;
and
,
upon
the
income
arising
from
this
,
he
managed
,
by
means
of
a
rigorous
economy
,
to
procure
the
necessaries
of
life
,
without
troubling
himself
about
its
superfluities
.
Books
,
indeed
,
were
his
sole
luxuries
,
and
in
Paris
these
are
easily
obtained
.
Our
first
meeting
was
at
an
obscure
library
in
the
Rue
Montmartre
,
where
the
accident
of
our
both
being
in
search
of
the
same
very
rare
and
very
remarkable
volume
,
brought
us
into
closer
communion
.
We
saw
each
other
again
and
again
.
I
was
deeply
interested
in
the
little
family
history
which
he
detailed
to
me
with
all
that
candor
which
a
Frenchman
indulges
whenever
mere
self
is
the
theme
.
I
was
astonished
,
too
,
at
the
vast
extent
of
his
reading
;
and
,
above
all
,
I
felt
my
soul
enkindled
within
me
by
the
wild
fervor
,
and
the
vivid
freshness
of
his
imagination
.
Seeking
in
Paris
the
objects
I
then
sought
,
I
felt
that
the
society
of
such
a
man
would
be
to
me
a
treasure
beyond
price
;
and
this
feeling
I
frankly
confided
to
him
.
It
was
at
length
arranged
that
we
should
live
together
during
my
stay
in
the
city
;
and
as
my
worldly
circumstances
were
somewhat
less
embarrassed
than
his
own
,
I
was
permitted
to
be
at
the
expense
of
renting
,
and
furnishing
in
a
style
which
suited
the
rather
fantastic
gloom
of
our
common
temper
,
a
time-eaten
and
grotesque
mansion
,
long
deserted
through
superstitions
into
which
we
did
not
inquire
,
and
tottering
to
its
fall
in
a
retired
and
desolate
portion
of
the
Faubourg
St.
Germain
.
Had
the
routine
of
our
life
at
this
place
been
known
to
the
world
,
we
should
have
been
regarded
as
madmen
--
although
,
perhaps
,
as
madmen
of
a
harmless
nature
.
Our
seclusion
was
perfect
.
We
admitted
no
visitors
.
Indeed
the
locality
of
our
retirement
had
been
carefully
kept
a
secret
from
my
own
former
associates
;
and
it
had
been
many
years
since
Dupin
had
ceased
to
know
or
be
known
in
Paris
.
We
existed
within
ourselves
alone
.
It
was
a
freak
of
fancy
in
my
friend
(
for
what
else
shall
I
call
it
?
)
to
be
enamored
of
the
Night
for
her
own
sake
;
and
into
this
bizarrerie
,
as
into
all
his
others
,
I
quietly
fell
;
giving
myself
up
to
his
wild
whims
with
a
perfect
abandon
.
The
sable
divinity
would
not
herself
dwell
with
us
always
;
but
we
could
counterfeit
her
presence
.
At
the
first
dawn
of
the
morning
we
closed
all
the
massy
shutters
of
our
old
building
;
lighted
a
couple
of
tapers
which
,
strongly
perfumed
,
threw
out
only
the
ghastliest
and
feeblest
of
rays
.
By
the
aid
of
these
we
then
busied
our
souls
in
dreams
--
reading
,
writing
,
or
conversing
,
until
warned
by
the
clock
of
the
advent
of
the
true
Darkness
.
Then
we
sallied
forth
into
the
streets
,
arm
and
arm
,
continuing
the
topics
of
the
day
,
or
roaming
far
and
wide
until
a
late
hour
,
seeking
,
amid
the
wild
lights
and
shadows
of
the
populous
city
,
that
infinity
of
mental
excitement
which
quiet
observation
can
afford
.
