Within this poem, Bailey uses sublime in order to construct the idea of feeling alone and ostracised in the universe. Alongside that he also incorporates the atmosphere and message by repeatedly insinuating society’s foolishness and mentioning souls repetitively throughout the poem. “Raven’s” concept of being…
