Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber doorā€”
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber doorā€”
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
ā€œThough thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,ā€ I said, ā€œart sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shoreā€”
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Nightā€™s Plutonian shore!ā€
Quoth the Raven ā€œNevermore.ā€

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaningā€”little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber doorā€”
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as ā€œNevermore.ā€

But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he utteredā€”not a feather then he flutteredā€”
Till I scarcely more than muttered ā€œOther friends have flown beforeā€”
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.ā€
Then the bird said ā€œNevermore.ā€

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
ā€œDoubtless,ā€ said I, ā€œwhat it utters is its only stock and store
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden boreā€”
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of ā€˜Neverā€”nevermore.ā€™ā€

But the Raven still beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yoreā€”
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking ā€œNevermore.ā€

ā€œProphet!ā€ said I, ā€œthing of evil!ā€”prophet still, if bird or devil!ā€”
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchantedā€”
On this home by Horror hauntedā€”tell me truly, I imploreā€”
Is thereā€”is there balm in Gilead?ā€”tell meā€”tell me, I implore!ā€
Quoth the Raven ā€œNevermore.ā€

ā€œBe that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!ā€ I shrieked, upstartingā€”
ā€œGet thee back into the tempest and the Nightā€™s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!ā€”quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!ā€
Quoth the Raven ā€œNevermore.ā€

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demonā€™s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light oā€™er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be liftedā€”nevermore!

I have several questions.

Most importantly, why canā€™t I welcome back Narco with an excerpt from Poeā€™s ā€œThe Raven?ā€

I was going to think of something clever, but all I can say is;

My name is Yoshikage Kira. Iā€™m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I donā€™t smoke, but I occasionally drink. Iā€™m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. Iā€™m trying to explain that Iā€™m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldnā€™t lose to anyone.
