"It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee
With a love that the wingéd seraphs in Heaven
Coveted her and me."
Edgar Allen Poe
With the construction of the 101 Freeway bypassing this small town and only one windy road leading into it, Shelter Cove became known as the Lost Coast, a place nearly shut off from the world, but still surviving.
