“Once upon a midnight dreary...” — you might’ve heard this spooky opening before! Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven is a poem all about loss, mystery, and that haunting word everyone remembers: Nevermore.
It’s like the raven keeps reminding us of things we can’t forget — those feelings of sadness or longing that sometimes just won’t go away. But it also shows how powerful our own minds are when we hold onto memories.
Here’s the famous line:
“Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore.’”
What’s something you wish you could forget... or never forget?

In The Raven, the narrator is feeling really sad and lonely because he lost someone he loved. When a mysterious raven visits him, it keeps saying “Nevermore” — like it’s reminding him that some things, like loss and pain, don’t just go away.
But the poem is also about how our minds can get stuck on these feelings, almost like a loop you can’t stop. The raven’s “Nevermore” becomes a symbol of that endless sadness and the struggle to move on.
So, it’s okay to feel sad sometimes — Poe reminds us that those feelings are part of being human. And maybe, by facing them, we can start to heal.
Remember: it’s totally normal to feel sad or stuck sometimes. What matters is not letting those feelings control you forever. Just like the narrator in The Raven, you might face tough times, but you have the power to keep going, find hope, and write your own story — one step at a time. 🌟
You’re stronger than you think. 💪
