From Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven", "Take thy beak from out my heart . . .take thy form from off my door. Quoth the raven, "Nevermore"."
I've used ink for the stipple, hatching, hand-lettering as well as watercolor on cold press illustration board.
"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"
