He mutters to himself that the Raven will possibly abandon him just as his friends and loved ones did, to which "Nevermore" responds once again. The narrator then sits directly in front of the bird, trying to understand what "Nevermore" means. The narrator unexpectedly learns that angels sent by Heaven have caused the air to become thick and fragrant. Anxious, he asks the Raven if the angels are a sign that heaven will relieve him of his sorrows, to which the bird again responds, "Nevermore."
