In Edger Allen Poe’s 18-stanza poem,
“The Raven”
the line,
“Quoth the Raven, Nevermore,”
comes in
toward the middle
and gets repeated,
or the word “nevermore”
gets repeated
in the subsequent stanzas.
Alas,
Poe’s oft-repeated theme
emphasizes
the importance of memory,
because life
consists of continuous loss.
UVA English professor Jerome McGann features Poe’s well-known, spooky poem, “The Raven” in his new book.
“The Poet Edger Allen Poe: Alien Angel”

Seems that everyday
I get up thinking
‘what’s the use …
what’s it all about …
why write? …
who really cares?
But then I just compose another post …
submit it on the host …
I just
Quoth the Raven
Never, Ever …
No …
Nevermore!?
…….
No!
Just
Once
Evermore!
Now The Mysterious Blabberer? 
Interesting post…

Why write? Do it for yourself. That’s what I do, and if others happen to find it entertaining, that’s icing on the cake.
