What happen to Lenore in the poem the raven by edgar allan poe?
114228
Pretty much...Poe never explained her death in the poem, and it obviously took place before the events of the Raven, but there is nothing there to say how or why.\n\nI wonder if he wasn't just looking for a rhyme with "nevermore"

Let's see. I've read quite a bit by her:\n\nIN THE GARDEN - by Emily Dickinson\n \nA bird came down the walk:\nHe did not know I saw;\nHe bit an angle-worm in halves\nAnd ate the fellow, raw.\nAnd then he drank a dew\nFrom a convenient grass,\nAnd then hopped sidewise to the wall\nTo let a beetle pass.\nHe glanced with rapid eyes\nThat hurried all abroad, --\nThey looked like frightened beads, I thought;\nHe stirred his velvet head\nLike one in danger; cautious,\nI offered him a crumb,\nAnd he unrolled his feathers\nAnd rowed him softer home\nThan oars divide the ocean,\nToo silver for a seam,\nOr butterflies, off banks of noon,\nLeap, plashless, as they swim.\n\n\nWhat does it mean-\n A gentle observation of a natural moment of Nature pedantic -hmmm, did I spell that right? Many poets professed that to observe Nature is to continually learn profound lessons, and sometimes lessons that simmer over decades before their truths be known. Miss Dickinson recorded life & elements swimming about her in her two story house in Amherst, in her garden, in her heart, her head, her grand and simple analogies abounding. Perhaps the bird was a bird. Perhaps he simply was going about his regular business. Or, perhaps she wanted future readers to consider the bird a symbol of all who toil in their daily labors, of all striving to meet their goals (courageously surmounting any obstacle; a beetle), then encountering a collision with an outside force - life, death, circumstance that "offers a crumb," and the toiler responds by fleeing, dying, being born... Until Emily herself is resurrected, which probably is unlikely, we can only guess her intentions. I will say, that having visited her home in Massachusetts, having walked her garden and having stood by her bed, the thought rings true in me that she simply was a born observer with a gift for description, comparisons and contrasts - ministress of boundless understanding.\n\nOf the ryhme scheme, I have been away from the books too long to remember how her beginning six lines of ABABAB relate to the continuing AABBCCDD lines. PLease read on with answers that will undoubtedly come from more expert knowledge. There are so many of us, Lovers of the Belle of Amherst, that you should get a respectable answer. Use your eyes to read them all, but remember to use your conscience to judge them. Best to you, dear person of quandary.

If your looking for an epic poem, try Evangeline. It was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about a maiden and a search for her lover. It's based upon the expulsion of Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. The poem is long, but I highly recommend it.

I was read a poem by Pablo Neruda that was amazing. (Of course I was so overwhelmed I don't remember much of it) I would stay away from Shakespeare.  I love the bard, but it's really cliche.  Don't just look at poems, there are some song lyrics that if they were said to me (knowing he meant them) would do just as much as any poem. (Mostly Ben Harper, Dave Mathews, and Kermit). Just know what she likes.

The phrase was probaly around as early as 1500.  It is first attributed to 'Don Quixote' which was written in the mid to late 1500's.  However forms of the phrase reach even earlier with Shakespear writing 'the Raven chides blackness'

I love the poem.. made me kinda teary-eyed.\nThen when I read that you had not met the woman that you wrote it about till recently.. it made me sadder yet.\n\nShe will be sad reading it, knowing she just met you.\n\nMaybe she will be happy knowing you love her enough now to write it.\nWell written poem... very kid of you to write it for your mom.\n\nI am wondering if you remember staring at her... if you just met her.\n\nNice poem though.

There You GO:\n\nI just completed reading the novel, Nightbirds on Nantucket, written by Joan Aiken. It is one of the seven books in the Wolves Chronicles series. The novel features Dido Twite, and her frequent adventures. Of the numerous characters, I chose to focus my attention on Dido and Dutiful, who frequently appeared in the book. Joan Aiken uses a unique personality and style for each character. For example, the way she emphasizes Dutiful’s fear on page 66. When the ship Dutiful is on shakes, she becomes scared and begins to question her safety. The source of Dutiful’s fear of the ocean remains an unanswered question. One theory is that Dutiful’s fear arose because of her late mother’s fears. The genre of Nightbirds on Nantucket is difficult to identify. It seems to be historical fiction because of the language used and clothing styles mentioned. This novel may also be classified under fantasy because of certain animals, a pink whale, and weaponry used, a mile-long gun. I enjoyed reading this book because of the author’s writing style and ideas, which instantly grab the reader’s attention. Everything flowed extremely well; in fact, I felt as if I was on the ship with Dutiful and Dido. The clarity of the details makes me wonder what the author’s inspiration was.\n\n\nDon't forget to underline the title of the novel. You may want to mention more about Dido's characer.

Well, Edgar Allen Poe's job is safe.... but I totally understand the point and sentiment.  I've grown weary of liberals  bemoaning our "cruelty" in Iraq and our "unconstitutional" treatment of playing loud music to people who are not even citizens(and enemies at that-- who major news media will NOT show disemboweling and beheading Americans), while ignoring torture chanmbers and mass graves of  the Iraqi dictator.\n\nSo, I'll pardon the poetry and give you a thumbs up.

ok summer here is the best i got:\n\nThis poem is (obviously) a lament, or some sorrow for something lost, also known as an elegy.  In this case, the poem is a woman's song.  She is lamenting the loss of her lover (it is possible that he is simply not there, or absent).  \nHowever, it appears as if "her lord" is the same lord that governs the people in this poem.  Therefore, for some reason they are isolating her from him.  Her lord himself tells her to take up a "dwelling" that he has apparently appointed for her.  \nOnce there, she meets a man and falls in love with him, claiming that "death alone" would separate them.\nFor the remainder of the poem, the woman is expressing her deep grief as she is in exile in what seems to be some type of cave or tunnell in the ground.\n\nhere is a paragraph by paragraph analysis:\n1.  \nHere she is introducing her lament as a sorrowful tale of her utmost woe; that never before has she experienced any distress as dire or excruciating as this.\n\n2.\nhere she explains that her lords family/ gentry sent him on a sea journey.  "Dawn-cares" can be interpreted as she either worries about him so much, she is losing sleep, or she wakes up in the morning, and her 1st thought is her husband.  [These compound words are famous in anglo-saxon poetry.]  She decides to go into exile, which was a custom of women to do who were w/o there husbands.  She may have disgraced him and is thencforth banishing herself.  It seems that she is turning to his people for advice, and they have their own plans as to where she should go.  The scheme and plot to send her away and put her in a position which will forever keep them apart. \n\n3.\nHer lord confirms the dwelling place she is to go to.  Where she went for exile, she knows few people.\n\n4.  \nShe falls in love with a man who is depressive and well taken care of.  He also seems to be in exile w/ a broken heart...he may even be suicidal.  They vow together, that, in their exile, they will have eachother.  But, he kills himself, destroying their pact.  she is back to where she stared in her sorrow.\n\n5.  \nFillied with longing, she is sent to live in a cave or some sort of underground hovel.  \n\n6. She describes her surroundings as dismal and "briar-choked".  She bemoans that fact that loves walk the earth and experience joy, while she is condemned to despair.  She explains that she can never gain composure because she used to be so full of hope, promise, and she was enthused for life.  Now that everything is taken from her, she is torn.  She takes a turn to curse her lord and wish upon him sorrow and grief, that he may become lost and wandering in his journeys.  She wished upon him a brooding heart and "breast cares" (broken heart). \n\nWell, I really hope this helps you!! Good luck with everything!  I will also email this to u so u get it.

"Once in an ancient city, whose name I no longer remember,\nRaised aloft on a column, a brazen statute of Justice\nStood in the public square, upholding the scales in its left hand,\nAnd in its right a sword, as an emblem that justice presided\nOver the laws of the land, and the hearts and homes of the people.      310\nEven the birds had built their nests in the scales of the balance,\nHaving no fear of the sword that flashed in the sunshine above them.\nBut in the course of time the laws of the land were corrupted;\nMight took the place of right, and the weak were oppressed, and the mighty\nRuled with an iron rod. Then it chanced in a nobleman's palace          315\nThat a necklace of pearls was lost, and ere long a suspicion\nFell on an orphan girl who lived as maid in the household.\nShe, after form of trial condemned to die on the scaffold,\nPatiently met her doom at the foot of the statue of Justice.\nAs to her Father in heaven her innocent spirit ascended,                320\nLo! o'er the city a tempest rose; and the bolts of the thunder\nSmote the statue of bronze, and hurled in wrath from its left hand\nDown on the pavement below the clattering scales of the balance,\nAnd in the hollow thereof was found the nest of a magpie,\nInto whose clay-built walls the necklace of pearls was inwoven."
