Yeah, Jeremiah is what Poe was referencing in terms of his narrator character's desperation to recover from the heartache of his own loss, but it was The Raven that I had in mind, not the prophet in Babylon.

A misatribution of Hemingway leading all the way back to Babylon is one hell of a rabbit hole. I love the Fediverse for this.
