In "The Raven," when the narrator refers to the bust of Pallas as having "a little relevancy bore," he means that the statue bears some minor connection or relevance to his current situation. The narrator sees the bust of Pallas as a reminder of wisdom and the knowledge he seeks to gain but also as a symbol of his grief and despair.
The speaker is expressing surprise at the raven's ability to speak so clearly and coherently. The use of "ungainly fowl" suggests that the speaker finds it strange that such a seemingly ordinary bird can articulate words and communicate effectively.
it means "little raven"
It depends on what you mean by "a little bit." If you mean that there are a few tiny bits of lint visible in the bore, as in small fibers clinging to the bore wall, then yes, it's safe to fire. If you mean that there's a "little bit" the size of a mouse, then no, do NOT fire it.Either way, wisdom falls on the side of safety, and I'd recommend that you clean the bore before firing the shotgun. ANY obstruction in the bore is a potential problem.
The whole stanza is referring to the only word the raven learned from its former "unhappy master", and that word "is its only stock and store". The former "master" spoke "dirges" (laments or mournful songs) of "hope" (read sarcasm here) often and ever increasingly of every "unmerciful Disaster" until the word nevermore became "one/melancholy burden bore" by the raven.
Presuming you mean the Treehouse of Horror segment & not the actual Poe tale... the only thing I recall is Homer going after the raven saying "Why you little"
"Raven" is a black bird.
It basically means that he has the name.
It is a variation of Brendan, meaning, "little raven". Smart, ahh? You see: ravens are, notably, the wisest birds. That said, however, it could also mean that he's a little vulture--albeit a wise one, crow that he'd be.
