It
is
____________________
on
a
cold
evening
in
December
in
the
1840s
.
In
a
dark
and
____________________
bedroom
,
wood
burns
in
the
____________________
as
a
man
laments
the
____________________
of
Lenore
,
a
woman
he
____________________
loved
.
To
occupy
his
mind
,
he
reads
a
book
of
ancient
stories
.
But
a
tapping
noise
disturbs
him
.
When
he
opens
the
door
to
the
bedroom
,
he
sees
nothing
?
only
____________________
.
When
the
tapping
____________________
,
he
opens
the
shutter
of
the
window
and
____________________
a
raven
,
which
flies
into
the
room
and
____________________
above
the
door
on
a
bust
of
Athena
(
Pallas
in
the
poem
)
,
the
goddess
of
wisdom
and
war
in
Greek
mythology
.
It
says
?
Nevermore
?
to
all
his
thoughts
and
longings
.
The
raven
,
a
symbol
of
death
,
tells
the
man
he
will
never
again
(
"
nevermore
"
)
see
his
beloved
,
never
again
