Summary |
One dark night, a poet was thinking about his dead love--Lenore. Suddenly, he heard a tapping on his door. He wonders who the late comer is. But when he opened the door, nothing is there. But he heard a voice said" Lenore." But there is no one there. He heard a tapping again. He saw a raven that sat on the head of a statue over the door. He asked for its name but it said "nevermore!" The raven didn't leave the poet's door even he told it to leave. |
