Interesting example of the sublime - love Poe’s prose

An old looking man tells the story of how he survived when the fishing boat he was in with his brother enters the maelstrom. Very descriptive but the story within a story doesn’t quite work.

I love Poe's use of language to convey the feeling of the Maelström.

“To the right and left, as far as the eye could reach, there lay outstretched, like ramparts of the world, lines of horridly black and beetling cliff, whose character of gloom was but the more forcibly illustrated by the surf which reared high up against its white and ghastly crest, howling and shrieking forever.”
A short story , vividly described and written , sadly I could not find myself interested.
