An Enigma by Edgar Allan Poe

"Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce,

"Half an idea in the profoundest Sonnet.

Through all the flimsy things we see at once

As easily as through a Naples bonnet -

Trash of all trash! - how can a lady don it?

Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff-

Owl-Downy nonsense that the faintest puff

Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it."

And, veritably, Sol is right enough.

The general tuckermanities are arrant

Bubbles - ephemeral and so transparent -

But this is, now, - you may depend upon it -

Stable, opaque, immortal - all by dint

Of the dear names that lie concealed within 't.

Congratulations to Deb for solving this one. Great job.

I tried to put the poem in here but couldn't yet. But your description is fine.

What is the University of Baltimore's mascot?

The 3 original Ravens human mascots were Edgar (#101) Allan (#102) and Poe (#103), named in honor of poet Edgar Allan Poe, whose poem "The Raven" is whom the Ravens are named for. They worked the sidelines during home games up until the 2009 season.Beginning in 2009, Edgar and Allan were retired, and Poe remains as the sole human mascot.In Edgar and Allan's place, 2 new live Ravens, Rise and Conquer, were named as the 2 new Ravens mascots. Housed and kept at the Baltimore Zoo, Rise and Conquer spent several weeks in training to learn how to deal calmly with the loud noise and number of people at Ravens home games, which is normally over 70,000.Both Rise and Conquer are handled on the sidelines by zoo handlers during home games. They have quickly become fan favorites, though Poe still gets a lot of attention as well.
