#OnThisDay in 1845, the public first experienced the "tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door" when Poe's The Raven was published in the NY Mirror. The eerie atmosphere and talking bird made Poe a household name, and remains the only poem to have inspired the name of a football team. (Seriously folks, let's have more literary team names, less racist stereotypes. Who's with me?) #HistoryGetsLIT
