Q Read the following stanza from “The Raven.”
But the Raven still beguiling my sad fancy into
smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird,

Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of

What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous
bird of yore
Meant in croaking, “Nevermore.”
