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? "

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)
"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)

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor." (Poe; The Raven)

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