Once upon a midnight dreary . . .
So begins the story of a man and his unusual encounter with a raven on a dark winter's night in Edgar Allan Poe's infamous "The Raven." The man's struggle with his deep sadness at the loss of the love his life is heightened with the arrival of the raven, who sits watching him, and only uttering a single word: nevermore. As the night grows darker, the man tries to escape the shadows of his grief before it is too late.
