Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

[Jon_]

Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven is the most excellent poem ever penned.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

[Westvleteren]

Definitely a great poem.

It's a joy to read aloud -- the language he uses is almost like a musical instrument. I recommend it often to people who want to learn about rhythm.

 

[Lycana]

Yes, and the poem Lenore is beautiful and incredible too!

Yes, and the poem Lenore is beautiful and incredible too!

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us--by that God we both adore--
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore--
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

 

[Lessien]

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On that pallad bust of Pallus just above my chamber door
And it's eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming
And the fire's dying embers cast its shadow on the floor
And my soul from the shadow that is wrought upon the floor
Shall be lifted-nevermore!

That poem is possibly the best I've ever read. It's so...musical. A bit dark, but beautiful nonetheless.

Fellow Poe Heads I love it.

Dark and serious man.

 

[Lessien]

Yep. Genius writer.

 

[DailyBlessings]

No one used rhyme so effectively as Mr. Poe.

ever read alone by poe. That is one good poem. I like it better than raven. Because it hits a cord in my heart that the raven does not.
