"The Raven"

Question

by Edgar Allen Poe
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me-filled me with fantastic terrors ever felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
ome late visitor entreating entrance at my hamber door; -
This it is and nothing more."
