The Raven
by
by
Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume
of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered,
"tapping at my chamber door --
Only this, and nothing more."
I had started reading the Raven before but was never able to quite get through it. When I came across this illustrated version at my library I decided to give it another shot. The illustrated version made it so much better. The illustrations by Ryan Price are dark and gritty� much like the story of the Raven. I’ve read several illustrated books this year that have added a certain something to the already great story (A Monster Calls comes immediately to mind) and the Raven is no exception.
You can find a few more illustrations by Ryan Price from the book but I would also recommend checking out the rest of his work as well, although I must say I think his work in the Raven is my favorite.

This is one of my favorite poems by Edgar Allen Poe. When i first read this poem, i understood it to be about a man who was very heart broken for his loss of his dead love (named Lenore). The grieving and confused man began to see the bird as a messenger or a prophet who was bringing a message from his dead Lenore. I guess he was hoping that the raven would reunited them together whether in a physical form or in death. This poem show alot of symbolism of love, hope, life, death, beginning, end, light and darkness.
