“And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor / Shall be lifted—nevermore!”
This shows the narrator’s despair and belief that he will never escape his sorrow.
“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,

On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—
Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”
