Raven

My soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor; quoth the Raven nevermore”. Edgar Allen Poe everyone has heard of that name before; the author that was blessed, and cursed by his genius. The Raven is one of Edgar's famous horror writing today.

The sorrow that the narrator feels is not just a little suffering, he is actually going mad.

The Raven in the writing is a big part of the narrator's suffering.
