quote the raven nevermore meaning
It is one of the most well-known lines English poetry has to offer: âQuoth the raven, âNevermore.ââ It is an eerie verse found in Edgar Allan Poeâs âThe Ravenâ, and we all know what the the first word in it means. Itâs a weird, extremely uncommon verb in the past tense meaning âto sayâ. Now use the same verb to ask if the raven said ânevermore.â Did the ravenâ¦ and now most of you - excluding you language and etymology enthusiasts out there - are struggling because you donât know what the infinitive of quoth is.
