Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, there came a tapping at my chamber door. It was the raven, perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door. The room was dimly lit by the flickering candlelight, casting long shadows on the walls. The raven's eyes glowed with an eerie light, as if it held the secrets of the universe within its gaze. The skull, resting on an open book, seemed to whisper tales of old, stories of life and death, love and loss. The lantern, with its flickering flame, added to the haunting atmosphere, creating a sense of mystery and suspense. This design captures the essence of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven,' evoking a sense of melancholy and the eternal quest for knowledge.
