Poe's "The Raven" was the first poem that ever got me: assigned in some middle-school October, read aloud with the lights half off, and suddenly poetry wasn't homework, it was a haunted house you could carry in a book. The narrator keeps asking the bird better and better questions and the bird has one word, and the horror is that one word answers all of them. This design gives the raven the full engraved treatment, feathers falling, period included, because "Nevermore." is a complete sentence and Poe punctuated it like a door closing.
