Some critics have maintained that Poe is our only original genius in American Literature. Lowell wrote in his Fable for Critics: "There comes Poe with his raven, like Barnaby Rudge, Three-fifths of him genius, and two-fifths sheer fudge."

I lost no time in doing so. Kennedy dumped the two chemicals into a pan in the middle of the main office, about three-fifths saltpeter and two-fifths sulphur, I should say. Then he lighted it.

In the heart of the wood the larva finally scoops out the chamber destined for the nymphosis. This is an egg-shaped recess an inch and a quarter to an inch and three-quarters in length by two-fifths of an inch in diameter. The walls are bare, that is to say, they are not lined with the blanket of shredded fibres dear to the Capricorn of the Oak.
Half a dozen of the small stock-holders have been to me since the fire was lighted, trying to get me to take their stock at market." "How much do we control that we are sure of?" Ford asked.

But the advantages of this arrangement are more unequal than may at first sight appear, or than was anticipated by the framers of the constitution.
