One may argue the supreme authority on this grisly area of fiction is Edgar Allen Poe, the Gothic genius whose brilliant and daring works have more than stood the test of time. Poe exhibits a flexible versatility in his writing, exhibiting mastery of his craft that is arguably unmatched by any subsequent author. In two of his most famous works, The Raven and Annabel Lee, this versatility is displayed through the eerie nature of the former, that contrasts with the dark romanticism of the latter.

The Raven, since its first publication in 1845, has been a fixed staple in the community of dark poetry. As frequently quoted, analyzed, reanalyzed, and criticised by new enthusiasts, The Raven boasts a mysterious plotline that has captured the attention of scholars everywhere. Beginning “Once upon a midnight dreary”, the poem continues as the lonesome speaker is visited by a curious Raven. The bird, perching upon a bust of Pallas Athena above his door, repeats his mantra, the single word “Nevermore” The speaker responds to him as he laments his great lost love, Lenore, who has been claimed by angels. Whilst talking to the Raven, the speaker begins a descent into madness, calling into question the bird’s existence all together. The guardian above his door is initially unperturbed by the speaker, but his unwavering stare begins to frighten and excite: “To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core” Following this, the speaker begins to experience visions he believes come from God, haunted by his love Lenore whom he desperately wants to relinquish the memories of. Yet “Quoth the Raven ‘Nevermore’”, his response suggesting that the speaker cannot escape the clutches of his own .....

I have now started writing a poem using my poetry form Lind30SR,

on Raven and Poe. Whereas usually when doing works on Poe my verses flow forth very fast. This time they are not so obligingly flying forth...

Which is not so bad since I am in no great hurry even if it takes many months to complete.
