"Quoth the Raven, a timeless muse of Poe's haunting poem in the 19th century. As we delve into the depths of this enigmatic creature's symbolism, we uncover its presence in unexpected places. In a whimsical cartoon, scenes during a shortage of fats depict the Raven as an unlikely hero, reminding us that even amidst scarcity, there is room for noble examples. Another cartoon portrays David Lloyd George embodying the spirit the Raven, perhaps hinting at his cunning political tactics. Brigadier-General Sir St John Chelsea also finds himself intertwined with this mysterious bird in yet another captivating illustration. But it doesn't stop there - Jimmy Hopper raises his glass and sings "Drink to me only with thine eyes, " while Duds by Bairnsfather humorously exclaims 'Duds quoth the Raven. ' These playful references remind us that Quoth has permeated popular culture beyond just poetry and politics. In an intriguing engraving titled 'Never More, ' we witness Quoth's ominous proclamation echoing through time. It serves as a reminder that some things are destined to remain unchanged. And let us not forget Samuel Butler's Hudibras where he cleverly writes 'Quoth the raven, nevermore. ' This phrase echoes throughout history as a symbol of despair and finality. Through these diverse depictions and references spanning centuries and mediums, one thing remains clear: Quoth continues to captivate our imagination and leave an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
