Read these lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven."


"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."
