Poet tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk and classical references.

    If thy wish is to entreat thee, with a poem so ghastly, beastly, make it known there is a freely written poem of wanton score. With no doubt, The Raven, driven to the edge of conscious reason made a mark of unseen vision thrust into the reader’s core. Will it bore you? Nevermore!

    This was something I needed to read and that I put myself in the store while reading it. like when someone would read it to me as a kid.
