Which two pairs of lines in this excerpt from "the raven" by edgar allan poe best show that the speaker is still haunted by the memories of lenore?
but the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
straight i wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door,
then, upon the velvet sinking, i betook myself to linking
fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
what this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
meant in croaking "nevermore."
this i sat engage in guessing, but no syllable expressing
to the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core,
this and more i sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
on the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er.
but whose velvet violet lining with the lamp light gloating o'er,
she shall press, ah, nevermore!
then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tuled floor
wretch, "ched, "thy god hath lent thee-by these angels he hath sent thee
respite-respite and nepenthe from thy memories of lenorel
quat, on quafr this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost lenorer
quoth the raven, "nevermore."

Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!

Explanation: In the poem, the speaker is mourning the death of a woman named Lenore. It is clear from these lines that the speaker is still haunted by her memories, as he believes the raven to have appeared for this reason. He asks the raven whether he has been sent in order to force him to get rid of his memories of Lenore, to which the raven replies "nevermore."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
