Ligeia

The narrator of this story meets and marries a woman of exquisite beauty--a woman named Ligeia. To the narrator, she is the perfect woman.   She possesses classical beauty, expanded intellect, and spiritual purity. The narrator describes at length the strange attributes of this woman Ligeia--her raven-black hair; her low, musical voice; her ivory skin, lofty forehead; her delicate nose and radiant smile.

By reading this story, you would realize that her eyes were the things that fascinated the narrator the most about Ligeia. The narrator describes his beautiful spouse almost like a ghost: "She came and departed as a shadow." He also thinks her beauty, more specifically her eyes, as a "!
