1. We read of that philosophy which can smile over the destruction of property, of that religion which enables its possessor to extend the benign look of forgiveness and complacency to his murderers; but it is not in the soul of man to bear the lacerations of slander.
2. And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
   On the pallid bust of Pallas, just above my chamber-door;
   And his eyes have all the seeming
   of a demon’s that is dreaming,
   And the lamplight o’er him streaming
   throws his shadow on the floor,
   And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor,
   Shall be lifted—nevermore
   Edgar Allen Poe
