                                                            The Raven Facts

 the poem The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe has many fancy old words that mean something we understand now if studied and practiced. I found one when he said" is there balm in Giliad." Which means is there peace rest in hell. The Baltimore Ravens were named after his poem because he lived in Baltimore. It is not known who is his lost Lenore. when he says the bird is a blessing he means it helps him forget about his lost Lenore.
