This person finds the odor of flowers oppressive, and only likes certain sounds from stringed instruments. This character's creations include a guitar improvisation on Reissiger's "The Last Waltz of Von Weber" and a strangely-lit painting of the interior of a tunnel or vault. He sings of "Spirits moving musically / To a lute's well-tunèd law" seen "Through two luminous windows" giving way to "Vast forms" moving "fantastically / To a discordant melody" in a ballad whose recitation leads him to confess that he believes his home is sentient, in part because it is reflected in a tarn; that ballad is called "The Haunted Palace." During a reading of Sir Launcelot Canning's "Mad Trist" he confesses that he has known for many days that his cataleptic twin sister Madeline was buried alive. For 10 points, name this man whose house falls in a story by Poe.
