The Raven is a poem by Edgar Allen Poe that tells a story about a man that is grieving over his lost love. A raven appears and sits in his room, speaking only "nevermore." The man takes this as some kind of sign and asks the bird questions that he knows will be answered as "nevermore," and that will make him sad; the man likes being sad.
