But everyone who is well read has already read these. What about some literature that goes deeper than these, in the vein of Poe, and further on?

Bump.
Experienced readers, please answer.

You are correct. The art is by Yoshitaka Amano. "Angel's Egg" is a powerfully thought-provoking movie, it's easily unlike any you've ever seen.
Wyatt King
The graffiti from Pompei?

Gene Wolfe’s "Tracking Song" (I think it was that one) and "Seven American Nights" contain this theme; as does "The Book of The New Sun" if you count "dying" / half-dead.
Cooper Thomas
Pedro Páramo

I read both of these and I don't remember it appearing in either. If you have the time, could you post the quotes here, please?

A Flag for Sunrise has a chapter near the end set in an old ruined Central American temple. They finally decipher the lost tribe's writing and discover that human sacrifice was all that they bothered to write about.

"Andreas or the United" by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Funny, this came to my mind immediately, but, rereading it now, it turns out it is very fragmentary. It is about a young Austrian nobleman coming to Venice and finding the city almost empty.

Just finished that book, seriously amazing.

god, i think it was "the magician's nephew" wherein the main characters were running through dead cities after the universe was sung into existence.
Logan Ortiz
The Road, and I Am Legend spring to mind.
Adrian Cooper
When I made this post I had His Darkest Materials in mind. I just wanted something less steeped in the supernatural, though those fit the request well.
Nicholas Jackson

As much as I like the idea of Dhalgren, the execution was quite tedious. My best answers for it are the Strugatskies.
