Which two phrases in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe help establish the setting? Once upon a {{midnight dreary}}, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a {{quaint and curious}} volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, {{nearly napping}}, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'T is some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door— Only this, and nothing more." Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the {{bleak December,}} And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow:—vainly I had sought to borrow From my books {{surcease of sorrow}}sorrow for the lost Lenore— For the{{ rare and radiant maiden}} whom the angels name Lenore— Nameless here for evermore.
