Answer:

nevermore,” because we can never hold onto what we have or who we love.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alas, Poe's oft-repeated theme emphasizes the importance of memory, because life consists of continuous loss. Poe uses “evermore” because loss will always be part of life; “nevermore,” because we can never hold onto what we have or who we love, McGann said.

please make my answer as brainelist
