The Raven

Explore 2 quotes from The Raven

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Edgar Allan Poe

Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form
from off my door!
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
