A mysterious talking raven pays a visit to a man who is distraught from the loss of his lover. The man, aching over the death of his dear Lenore, is upset and distressed by the bird who repeats one word;

Nevermore.

Steeped in stylized, but dark prose and written in an almost musical style Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven is a bleak, mesmerizing journey through one man's depression and madness. Illustrated by Gustave Doré, the master woodcut artist gives the poem the rich but despondent feel which perfectly accompanies this classic poem.
