There is an account in the article of a scene that occurred in the spring of 1842. Poe tried at the time to see Mary, who was then a married woman, at her home in Jersey City. He reproached her and shouted that she did not love her husband, and he tried to force her to corroborate his words. He had been inquiring for her, and made up his mind he would see her even "if he had to go to hell" to do it. When he saw her, he was somewhat soothed, and she sang to him his favourite song, "Come Rest in This Bosom." She had sung this for him in the early days, and also at a visit she paid him in Philadelphia not long before his Jersey City visit. After this episode at her home the poet was found in the woods wandering about like one crazy. Mary Devereaux scoffed at the idea that the poet's child wife was the great passion of his life. It was always known, in spite of Poe's tenderness for Virginia, that he never found intellectual companionship in her. Poe married Virginia in May, 1836, when he was 27 and she 14 years old. He was living in 1833 with the Clemms in Baltimore, and had taken out a marriage license on September 22, 1835, but Virginia was then too young for marriage. The relation of Mary to his work will soon appear. I wish to show first that the splendid love poem, _To One in Paradise_, appearing in the tale _The Assignation_, was, with the story, inspired by Mary. _Visionary_, the original title of _The Assignation_, appeared with the poem in January, 1834, in Godey's _Lady's Book_, and hence was written in 1833, or before. It was among the tales submitted in the prize contest that year in which Poe was successful with one of his stories. When Poe later obtained employment on _The Southern Literary Messenger_, he reprinted here some of his tales; this tale was reprinted in July, 1835. The clue comes now. In the same number of the _Messenger_ there is a poem entitled _To Mary_, by Poe, beginning, "Mary amid the cares--the woes," which in sentiments and ideas is but another version of _To One in Paradise_ in the _Visionary_. This poem _To Mary_ appears in Poe's poetical works under the title _To F----_. He reprinted this poem, which was originally written to his love Mary, in _Graham's Magazine_ for March, 1842, and changed the first line and called the poem no longer _To Mary_, but _To One Departed_, very suggestive of the _To One in Paradise_. Poe, who would make a poem written to one lady serve, by a few changes in its text, for another later woman friend, gave this poem its present title, _To F----_, when he reprinted it in the 1845 _Broadway Journal_ in honour of the poet Frances S. Osgood, whom he met that year.[H]
