The Story

"Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore."

The Raven definitely deserves its reputation as a dreary gothic poem. However, The Raven is also a musical and stylish exploration of our vast depths of feelings, specifically around loss and its maddening influence. Rhythmically taking us through a descent into madness punctuated with tenderness and devotion. It is classic horror literature that explores the conflict of wanting to forget one's pain while suffering the pleasures of remembrance.

In our depiction of The Raven, we aim to capture the beauty of the speaker's despair in his exploration of conflicting desires. We use an Edgar Allan Poe quote and a Gustav Dore art illustration depicting the eponymous Raven flying through the window. Importantly, the raven is entering, and not departing. Beautiful and tragic, the speaker's exploration is relentlessly followed throughout the poem. His heart cannot be still as the beating rhythms of the poem keep him trapped in his torment of loss - death and the ceasing of his heart would be his only release. This design results in a vintage book poster perfect for readers and book lovers looking for literary gifts to curate an authentic bookish gothic decor experience that stays true to this literary classic. 

This bookish art uses a dark academia design to make a perfect book lover gift for any gothic reading corner.
