Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven was published in the New York Evening Mirror today (January 29) in 1845, four years prior to his death at the age of 40 from indeterminate causes.
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door —
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door —
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
One And Twenty, a passage from A.E. Housman’s “A Shropshire Lad” by Scott Garner. I’ve added this and a several others to my Vimeo channel, Nice Type.
