Raven, don't worry about the loons. They'd never be able to perch on the bust of Pallas
Quite right, Wordwind. A loon would never do.

The raven and the bust are perfect for one another as Poe himself explains:
"I made the bird alight on the bust of Pallas, also for the effect of contrast between the marble and the plumage,- it being understood that the bust was absolutely suggested by the bird; the bust of Pallas being chosen, first as most in keeping with the scholarship of the lover, and secondly, for the sonorousness of the word Pallas itself." The Philosophy of Composition, E.A. Poe
