[Forum] 170 years of driving poets mad

[om_rook]

Today in the history of my people: we are made famous as creepy messengers that make morose poets even more morose. "The Raven" was published 170 years ago today.

It's a proud day. Be sure to offer any ravens you know perhaps a cracker or perhaps a tasty egg, and a nice head rub would not go awry either?

On the cover is a pretty picture of a raven. Inside is a handwritten poem.

You will have seen rooks.
Don't be put off by a sense of familiarity.
Rooks are enveloped in a glorious sky-cloak of mystery.
They're not what you think they are.
- Mark Cocker, from "Crow Country"

Happy Raven-day, Diaval.
