Which words in this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's “The Raven” give the raven a dignified and elegant appearance?

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a FLIRT AND FLUTTER, In there stepped a STATELY raven of the SAINTLY days of yore. Not the least OBEISANCE made he; not a minute STOPPED or stayed he, But, with MEIN OF LORD OR LADY, PERCHED above my CHAMBER door— Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door— Perched, and sat, and NOTHING MORE.

The words that are enlarged are the choices given, you can choose more than one

Hi <3

I think the words that give it a "dignified" appearance would be stately and saintly.

Hope this helps, byee<33
