I love poetry and one of my favorite poets is Edgar Allan Poe. I love all of his works but one, in particular, the Raven. I love how Poe portrays a man in his room, half reading, half falling asleep, and all the while struggling to forget his lost love. That is something that many people, who have been up late night trying not to remember something painful, can relate to.
Poe's works are filled with imagery and symbols. For example, the title of the poem is the Raven. To me, the Raven symbolizes sadness caused by solitude and separation. There is the famous line:
"Quoth the Raven, Nevermore."
This line is repeated over and over in the poem. Technically in poems, this is called a refrain. A refrain is a line that gets repeated again and again
