The Raven

A lonely valet de chambre tries to ease his sorrow for the mixed-up Lenore, by distracting his mind with old books of forgotten lore. He is off-and-on(a) while he is nearly napping, by a tapping on [his] chamber door. As he opens up the door, he finds dimness there and nothing more. Into the darkness he whispers, Lenore, hoping his lost have intercourse had come back, but all that could be heard was an reiterate [that] murmured back the word Lenore! 
With a burning soul, the domain returns to his chamber, and this era he can hear a tapping at the windowpane lattice. As he flung [open] the shutter, in [there] stepped a stately Raven, the raspberry of ill-omen (Poe, 1850). The antedate perched on the bust of Pallas, the goddess of wisdom in classic mythology, above his chamber door. 
The man asks the Raven for his name, and surprisingly it answers, and croaks Nevermore. The man knows that the bird does not speak from wisdom, but has been taught by roughly unhappy master, and that the word nevermore is its only stock and store. 
The man welcomes the antedate, and is afraid that the raven will be gone in the morning, as [his] Hopes have flown before; however, the raven answers, Nevermore. The man smiled, and pulled up a chair, interested in what the raven meant in croaking, Nevermore.



The chair, where Lenore at once sat, brought back painful memories. The man, who knows the irrational nature in the ravens speech, still cannot help but ask the raven questions. Since the narrator is aware that the raven only knows one word, he can anticipate the birds responses. Is there balm in Gilead? - Nevermore. force out Lenore be found in paradise? - Nevermore. Take thy trope from off my door! - Nevermore. Finally the man concedes, realizing that to continue this conversation would be pointless. And his soul from out that shadow that the raven throws on the floor, Shall be lifted -- Nevermore!
