We have also studied a very famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe : The Raven. 

Sum'up : The story takes place during a gloomy night in december, the narrator reads a book and tries to forgett his love : Lenore. Suddenly, he hears a noise : someone is tapping at his door. He opens the door but doesn't see anything. He thinks that it may be Lenore, who wants to see him, but nobody answers. However, he hears and other noise. He says that it's the wind whereas he is a little bit panicked. He opens the window and a majestic raven comes in the chamber. It settles in the bust of Pallas, the goddess of the wisdom. The narrator tries to speak with the raven, but it always answers "Nevermore". At first, the narrator is entertained by the raven, and he speaks about Lenore, but the raven says "Nevermore". The narrator makes a link between Lenore and the raven, he asked if he can see Lenore in the Heaven. The raven says "Nervermore". Then he goes mad, and calls the raven devil, prophet of the evil. He orders that the raven leaves the chamber, but it doesn't move.
