 Edgar Allan Poe Publishes "The Raven" (1845)Like Poe's other works, "The Raven" conveys the dreamlike and often macabre forces that pervaded the author's sensibility. Poe wrote the poem while his moribund wife was suffering from tuberculosis, and it became an instant sensation when it appeared in the Evening Mirror in 1845.

I love this poem!
I am carrying my heart~I am carrying my rhythm~I am carrying my prayers~But you can't kill my spirit~It's soaring and strong (Paula Cole's Me Lyrics)***We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We ARE spirtual beings having a human experience.(T.deChardin)***There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. (Albert Einstein)

Poe is one of my favorite poets ever. He had such a musical way with words and incredible flow. Absolutely incredible stuff.
A closed mind is like a closed book - nothing can be gained if either remains closed.

No other poem conveys such a melodious pace like the Raven. Poe achieved in the 40 years of his life a tremendous output, yet unmatched in the literary scene, not to mention his originality and creative genious
look into my eyeballs, there thy beauty lies, then why not lips on lips since eyes on eyes? William Shakespeare
