• “That Raven on yon left-hand oak(Curse on his ill-betiding croak)Bodes me no good.”
• “Kahgahgee, the King of Ravens,Gathered all his black marauders,Crows and blackbirds, jays and ravens,Clamorous on the dusky tree-tops.”
• “The Raven's house is built with reeds,— Sing woe, and alas is me!And the Raven's couch is spread with weeds, High on the hollow tree;And the Raven himself, telling his beadsIn penance for his past misdeeds, Upon the top I see.”
• “The raven once in snowy plumes was drest,White as the whitest dove's unsullied breast,Fair as the guardian of the Capitol,Soft as the swan; a large and lovely fowlHis tongue, his prating tongue had changed him quiteTo sooty blackness from the purest white.”
• “Ghastly, grim, and ancient Raven, wandering from the Nightly shore,—Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore! Quoth the Raven "Nevermore!"”
