Some years after having buried his beloved wife Ligea, Verden Fell meets and eventually marries the lovely Lady Rowena. Fell is something of a recluse, living in a small part of a now ruined Abbey with his manservant Kenrick as the only other occupant. He remains infatuated with his late wife and is convinced that she will return to him. While all goes well when first married, he returns to his odd behavior when they return to the Abbey from their honeymoon. The memories of Ligea continue to haunt him as well as her promise that she would never die. 《莱姬娅之墓》——生不叩拜上帝，死亦拒绝地狱。开篇出色的台词。 A man's obsession with his dead wife drives a wedge between him and his new bride.@www.molikan.com
