And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floorShall be lifted—nevermore! Themes such as loss and relentless melancholy - nothing foreign to Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) - combined with a repetitive rhythm that gives it a unique and gradually oppressive musicality resulted in one of the best literary works of all time, The Raven. This edition, first published in 1844, includes the steel-plate engravings by renowned French artist Gustave Doré (1832–1883),
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping something louder thanbefore WoW! What a poem it is!! I am not into poems that much but this poem is exceptionally awesome. I couldn't stop reading this. I have read this poem at least 3 times by now. It's just that amazing. Once you started, you couldn't be able to stop until the end. I have fallen in love with this poem of E. A. Poe. Madly!! I have even downloaded its audio version. And that's also rea
Happy Halloween, EAP! This is probably the best poem in history ever to have sold for $9. But what is it about? That's a more difficult question. The poem has undeniable power, but its power (as in much of Poe) is not entirely susceptible of rational explication. First, there's the sheer liturgical music of the poem, as evidenced from the very opening lines:"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore--While I nodded, near...
Nevermore! RAISE RAVENS... First of all, two things......one, I classified this poem as a "short story" since I haven't read so much poetry as to justify a tag for that in my personal list to describe books......two, I rated 4 stars, since kinda the same reason, due I haven't developed a knack for poetry, but since I was curious about this poem by Edgar Allan Poe, still I read it, and certainly I liked it quite a bit, but it's some hard to enjoy for me poetry. Nobody's fault.This is easily
The Raven is a piercing piece by Edgar Allan Poe who I am reading for the very first time. I read it with holding the breath in an unnamable, haunting feeling due to the eerie atmosphere created by the poet through the verses. It’s a dreary, windy winter night with only a flicker of an old lamp burning like a symbol of hope, you feel the crushing effect on your heart, which is pounding heavily, of such a gothic setting, the horror gets intensified when the poundings on the rags of your old door,...
Shall we descend into madness? Shall we be haunted by our own desires? Shall we be consumed by that terrible facet of life known only as death? Shall we cling to what cannot be reanimated? Shall we wish for a return of something that has long been in darkness? Shall we become obliterated by the brutal finality of such a statement as “nevermore?” Lenore has gone. She has departed from this life, and is permanently out of the reach of the man. The raven represents the solidarity of this. Despite h...
You know the place between sleep and wake, the place where you can still remember dreaming, it’s a worst place to be in when you no longer can sleep nor can dream.we,the humans are a doomed species who ever breathed on planet earth, the moments we cherish turns into memories, the things we desire become wishes, the people we love turns into strangers, and the present we live becomes past…We all live our dear life with a feel of loss, we all devise altered approaches to seek peace, we all at some...
One freezing December evening, a man also in his room, dozing over his book, thought of Lenore, his now-deceased sweetheart.But noise at her door knocked her out of her reverie. After making several hypotheses and finally making up its mind, it opens up and, despite its inactivity, to a majestic crow. Amused but intrigued, he stupidly asks her name. The raven then responds, "Never again". The narrator questions himself and asks other questions.But the crow responds every time, Never again.Paraly...
So what do you do when you can’t sleep even the clock tell you its 2’o clock of the night? You creep yourself out by reading creepy poems where a Raven talks back to you, saying ...Nevermore...Still can’t sleep? Listen to this rendition. (It mostly scares the daylights out of me)Here are two of my most favorite passages, which I could once, long time back, in another lifetime, recite by rote Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,Doubting, dreaming dreams no mo...
