"The Raven" By Edgar Allan Poe

This man is beyond crazy to have written works like this, but it's also the only poem I actually like so I can't really judge him. the poem seems to be based around this notion of a raven stalking him and driving him insane. The raven obviously can sufficiently describe many things, but I think it portrays death. Poe has many of his poems based on insanity, death, and sometimes retribution; therefore, I take the raven to describe death creeping up on this man.
