First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking ravens
mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the mans slow fall
into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student,[1][2] is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas,
the raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant
