Question

Read this stanza from "The Raven

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from
an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the
tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee-by these
angels he hath sent thee
Respite-respite and nepenthe from thy memories of
Lenorel
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost
Lenorel
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
