"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or
devil!-- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-- On this home by Horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore-- Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." -Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), The Raven |
