Question

Rewrite the second stanza of "The Raven" in everyday language.

Answer 1

I remember it clearly — it was a cold, bleak December. The dying embers in the hearth made ghostly shapes on the floor. I was desperately wishing for morning, and I’d tried in vain to find comfort in my books to ease the pain of losing Lenore — that rare, radiant woman the angels call Lenore — a name I won’t speak here anymore.
