Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore, Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Nigh

Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!–prophet still, if bird or devil!-
