Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
            Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

PARADISE LOST BY JOHN MILTON; “And that must end us, that must be our cure:
To be no more. Sad cure! For who would lose,
Though full of pain, this intellectual being,
Those thoughts that wander through eternity,
To perish, rather, swallowed up and lost
In the wide womb of uncreated night
Devoid of sense and motion?” | image tagged in paradise,milton,literature,poem | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

unfaegne, eorl, ponne his ellen deah. OFTEN, FOR UNDAUNTED COURAGE,
FATE SPARES THE MAN IT HAS NOT ALREADY MARKED.” | image tagged in epic,poem,olde english | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

“Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say
that we devise their misery. But they
themselves- in their depravity- design
grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.”; The Odyssey by Homer | image tagged in homer,ancient,greek,epic,poem,literature | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

“There are souls beneath that water. Fixed in slime
they speak their piece, end it, and start again:
'Sullen were we in the air made sweet by the Sun;
in the glory of his shining our hearts poured
a bitter smoke. Sullen were we begun;
sullen we lie forever in this ditch.'; This litany they gargle in their throats
as if they sand, but lacked the words and pitch.”
