Famous quotes containing the word raven:
“This whole day have I followed in the rocks,
And you have changed and flowed from shape to shape,
First as a raven on whose ancient wings
Scarcely a feather lingered, then you seemed
A weasel moving on from stone to stone....”

As doth the raven oer the infected house,
Boding to all!”
