"And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me -- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before." (Poe)

This is constantly getting updated as I keep learning new things... and I am really hoping to find some answers, so any help would be great. :) Except Dr. Jerz, at least until class, I want to see what we (as a class) can come up with!

"What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore" (p. 3)

The Raven. It Shall Be Lifted Nevermore!

Fairy Land. Joy is Like a Tattered Curtain.

"Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door --
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore." (Poe, The Raven)

"And this ray is a fairy ray --
Did you not say so, Isabel? "


"This wonderful plan, without danger or loss,
Keeps your cash in your hands, where nothing can trouble it; "

"Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by angels whose faint foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "they God hath lent thee -- by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, of quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." (p. 4)

Sarah Durham said:

"Now deep shall be -- O deep! The passion of our sleep! For that wide circumference In easy drapery falls Drowsily over halls-- Over ruin'd walls -- Over waterfalls, (silent waterfalls!) O're the strange woods -- o'er the sea-- Alas! Over the sea!" (p.57-58)

Jered Johnston said:

"Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor." (Poe; The Raven)

Jered Johnston said:

"Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes! Why prey'st thou thus upon the poet's heart,
Vulture! whose wings are dull realities!"
