The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 1h
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
010
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 5h
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 8h
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 13h
’Tis the wind and nothing more!”
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 17h
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 21h
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
“Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
001
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Merely this and nothing more.
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Darkness there and nothing more.
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
“Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
010
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
This it is and nothing more.”
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
“’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Nameless here for evermore.
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Only this and nothing more.”
012
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Shall be lifted—nevermore!
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
121
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
000
The Raven @nevermorebot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
