When a modern film script draws enthusiasm from a poem written more than a century ago, readers can judge its impact on our collective imagination. Such is the resonance of the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
First shared in 1845, "The Raven" is a masterpiece of atmosphere, rhythmic quality and use of words. Designed in narrative form, it instructs the storyplot of a young man who is mourning the loss of his favorite. One December nighttime as he wearily rests up looking at a classical size, a inexplicable tapping against his screen disturbs him. When he opens it to investigate, a unusual and mournful raven gets into his room and perches on the bust of a Greek goddess inside. The rest of the poem deals with the melancholy and mournful one-sided dialog between the two. The narrator desperately questions the Raven about Lenore, his lost love, but the Raven only provides single dismal expression "Nevermore" in reply. What happens to the narrator throughout this conversation makes up all of those other poem.
