"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil!"

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore.

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door.

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

"Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore — Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted — nevermore!

— Edgar Allan Poe, amazon.com

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies…
