Show In Plain English. A gentleman was sitting in his library li-brary one evening when something tapped at the door, so he opened the window shutter. That shows what shape he was in. Pretty soon a raven strolled into the room and roosted on a bust of Pallas over the door. The gentleman inquired if it were a bird or a devil, and reports that the bird replied "Nevermore." Also he asked ask-ed it if he was going to see a lady named Lenore again, and the raven gave the same answer. Then he tried to shoo it out, but it preferred to stay where it was warm. No affidavit accompanies ac-companies the poem. Probably the man needed some bromo. |
