The Raven and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe

'The Raven' is a narrative poem by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1845. Overall, the stanza conveys a sense of the narrator's deep emotional and psychological turmoil, as he struggles to make sense of the raven's appearance and the implications it may have for his own life. The phrase 'dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before' suggests that the narrator is experiencing a level of imagination and creativity that is beyond what is typically possible for human beings. The line 'long I stood there' emphasizes the length of time he spends in this state of introspection. The phrase 'Deep into that darkness peering' conveys a sense of the narrator staring into the abyss, confronting his fears and doubts. In this stanza, the narrator is describing his experience of looking into the darkness of his chamber after the raven has appeared. The full stanza reads:ĭeep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,ĭoubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before īut the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,Īnd the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore?' This quote is from Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, 'The Raven.' Specifically, it is from the stanza in which the narrator is describing his reaction to the raven's appearance in his chamber.
