 		Question about "Poe"
I'm new.. so be nice...

I've seen a few people refer to the fact that Poe is used in the source on paintover.net

One of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poems is "A dream within a dream":

All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep — while I weep!
Oh, God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
Oh, God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that I see or seem
But a dream within a dream?.

(courtesy http://www.pambytes.com/poe/poems/a-dream-within-a-dream.html)

There's been all that speculation about the plot of revolutions taking place as a matrix within a matrix. I just thought it was an interesting coincidence...

 		Agreed that the quote from Poe would coincide nicely with the Matrix-Within-Matrix theory, but I just read some reviews that were posted about elsewhere on this board, and apparently, there is no MWM. The reviewer says "luckily for us, the Wachowskis are better than that!"
