Ah The Raven. Yes.

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting;
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

I used to wonder how on earth, without being under the influence of drugs, could anyone have ever imagined a Raven saying “Nevermore”, until I moved to MA. We have ravens that sit on top of our houses that caw so loudly, it is VERY easy to imagine one saying that. They’re HUGH!
