The Raven

"...then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
'Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said,
'art sure no craven, ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore--
tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore'."

-Edgar Allan Poe

although the raven in the poem was described to be a male, upon rereading Poe's most famous poem i cant seem to stop thinking of a lady who's mysteriousness intrigued many men and lured them into their doom.
no one really knows anything about this woman.
in fact, no one would really be sure what her face looks
like as she would always conceal it.
all they know,
is that she has deep black hair.
like the color of the feathers of a raven.
and thus, they call her The Raven.

aah...my dream girl.
