Two hundred years since the poet wrote The Raven,
it continues tapping and rapping on his door.
The incessant nuisance drove him completely mad
and Poe lives-on in The Raven, forevermore.

The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Tis some visiter,
Only this and nothing more." - Edgar Allan Poe to read the Raven
