In loving memory of Virginia Clemm Poe — Poe's love, his own sweetest Sissy, his darling little wifey — who succumbed to tuberculosis this day in 1847. May you rest in peace forever more with your darling Eddy, Virginia dear.

On this day 180 years ago, The Raven was published in the New York Evening Mirror.
It received critical acclaim and made Poe an overnight success. Poe was fairly well known in literary circles, but because of “The Raven,” Edgar Allan Poe became a household name and national celebrity. Poe only made around $15 for its publication, but he created further financial opportunities by giving lectures and recitations. A guest at one literary salon noted that “to hear [Poe] repeat the Raven … is an event in one’s life.” His poem earned him the nickname “The Raven.”
Nathaniel Parker Willis, editor of the Mirror, said of the poem that “It will stick to the memory of everybody who reads it.”
It remains to this day one of the most famous poems ever written.
