Lenore

with a petty breeze coming through the windows. I´m sitting here and all i´m thinking about is Lenore she is always on my mind and she will never go away.

If the bowl is broken it cannot possibly hold anything in it. Because the bowl is broken, life cannot possibly continue. The spirit that Poe is writing about is Lenore’s spirit.
