Yesterday was Edgar Allan Poe's 205th birthday, but there were no roses and cognac left on his grave to mark the occasion. For years, a mysterious man known only as the "Poe Toaster" visited the Baltimore grave, leaving behind three roses and a half-drunk bottle of Martell, but for the fifth consecutive year, he was nowhere to be seen yesterday, The Wire reports. Despite some notes left by the Toaster, his identity remains unknown; the notes indicate the original Toaster may have died in the 1990s and passed along the tradition. It ran from 1949, the 100th anniversary of Poe's death, to 2009, the 200th anniversary of his birth. (More Edgar Allan Poe stories.)
