"Le Corbeau = The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling poem from the Romantic era that looks into heartbreak, gloom, and trying to make sense of death. It tells the story of a man grieving for his lost love, Lenore. One dark December night, a tapping at his door leads him to a strange raven that lands above his chamber door. The raven can only say one word: "Nevermore." The narrator starts talking to the raven, hoping for answers about Lenore and the chance of seeing her again after death. But with each "Nevermore," he sinks further into despair, realizing his sadness will never end, and he will never escape the shadow of his grief.
