It is one of the most well-known lines English poetry has to offer: âQuoth the raven, âNevermore.ââ It is an eerie verse found in Edgar Allan Poeâs âThe Ravenâ, and we all know what the the first word in it means. Itâs a weird, extremely uncommon verb in the past tense meaning âto sayâ. Now use the same verb to ask if the raven said ânevermore.â Did the ravenâ¦ and now most of you - excluding you language and etymology enthusiasts out there - are struggling because you donât know what the infinitive of quoth is.
Why is a raven like a writing desk? Because one is nevar backwards and the other is always for words. The really clever thing about this is that the riddle answer sets the scene for the entire tea party, which is about time, which is never backwards and always forwards. It's pure genius on the part of Lewis Carroll.
