"But with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Perched, and sat, and nothing more." (Poe, Lines 40-42) Also, the man is willing to keep the Raven, and that is why he continues to question it, as he sits below it to ponder it. Only at the end, when he can't stand to be tormented anymore by it, does he bid it go, but it "shall be lifted - nevermore!" (Poe, Line 109) Actually, the Raven flies in and perches on the bust of Pallas Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, which the man has above his door.

Raven in Siritaulity means " Magic in the air, and something special is about to happen." A Raven is a spirit animal , and your football team has the spirits behind them on Sunday. The Raven team can look it up i the book called "Pocket Guide To Spirit Animals By Dr. Steven Farmer" Every animal delivers a message, and the Crow is simular the same as the Raven is. I strongly wish the Raven's the best of luck and the Spirits ar with you. Loretta Philadelphia picked a good name for the football team.
