Reading: A.Read “ Concord Hymn” by Ralph Waldo Emerson (pdf)

Who is Emerson? (Bio) Video

This poem was first distributed as a leaflet on the occasion of the dedication of

a monument (July 4, 1837) commemorating the battle of Lexington and Concord.

However, since the cornerstone of the monument was laid late in 1836 and the

monument carries the date 1836, some printed versions of the poem give that date.

The poem was not printed again until it was included in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Poems (1847).

2. Poem: The Raven (by Edgar Allen Poe) Video

First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized

language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious

visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. A symbol is

something that represents something else. ... In 'The Raven' the symbol is obvious.

Poe himself meant the Raven to symbolize 'mournful, never-ending remembrance.'

Our narrator's sorrow for his lost, perfect maiden Lenore is the driving force

behind his conversation with the Raven.
