Yeah, and in truth, a birthdate means nothing. Humans put meaning into it, but animals don't. They are just here. Poe would make an observation like the one I just made, he was good at pointing out inconsistencies, oddities and habits of human rationale. The only thing a birthdate could ever be is an omen of some kind, besides that its really nothing...besides a record keeping thing.
Poe stories were such that people remember him as unhappy. He did have lots of sadness in his life, this shook his foundations and led to him writing Eureka just before his early death at age 40. Eureka is a positive prose poem and gives readers a glimpse into his true state of mind near his earthly end.
