Read these lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! prophet still if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us-by that God we
both adore,
Tell this soul with sorrow laden, if, within the distant
Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name
Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name
Lenore."
Quoth the Raven-"Nevermore."
According to "The Philosophy of Composition," what is the significance of this
stanza to Poe?

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
