Quote from "The Raven:"

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
'Wretch,' I cried, 'thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from they memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!
Quote the raven, 'Nevermore.'

denser unseen tinkled tufted are these enough to explain how the sensory words connect with specific characters and settings from the poem. or do i need some more?

anonymous · Answer

how bout nevermore? is that one?

anonymous · Answer

No. When you identity sensory words, you can think what sense do they respond. For instance, voice responds hearing. And you must know the meaning of the words before you identity if they are sensory words.

anonymous · Answer

sorry... idk what a lot of the words mean :/ im really sorry

anonymous · Answer

Some questions to think about as you work on the answer:

    How do the sensory words change or add to the meaning of the passage?
    How do the sensory words specifically connect to a character(s) and to the setting?
    Do the sensory words indicate any foreshadowing or symbolism?
    What meaning can you gain by reading between the lines" or reading for deeper meaning?

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

now how can i use em to descibe the passage?

anonymous · Answer

idk what the passage is saying.. but im going to take my best guess... i think that it is saying that he summoned something, like some kind of spirit or being to give him some kind of potion to forget the memories of his lost love.  or something like that.. i have not read this story, but for that excerpt, and that is kind of what i got out of it... he was scared of whatever he summoned and he was under the influence of some kind of drug or drink that he took to try to forget something about the characher lenore
