As the days become more equal, I have had several quotes from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" in my head. I don't know if it is the gentle rapping, or repetitive tapping and tapping, that makes this work my favorite poem. I first read it when I was in middle school. I discovered it after reading "The Tell-Tale Heart" and fell in love with it. Every subsequent visit to "The Raven" has had the same effect on me. If you have never heard of this work before, you can read it in it's entirety after the jump. If you are familiar with this work, then by all means, give it another glance.
