“With the exception of The Raven, which seems intended chiefly to show the writer’s artistic skill, and is in its way a rare and finished specimen,”
Fuller, Margaret. "The Raven and Other Poems." New-York Daily Tribune, 26 November 1845. · 26 November 1845
“Her foot upon the new-mown grass — bareheaded — with the flowing Of the virginal white vesture, gathered closely to her throat; With the golden ringlets in her neck, just quickened by her going, And appearing to breathe sun for air, and doubting if to float, — With a branch of dewy maple, which her right hand held above her, And which trembled a green shadow in betwixt her and the skies, — As she turned her face in going, thus she drew me on to love her, And to study the deep meaning of the smile hid in her eyes.”
