Who wrote these famous lines once up a midnight dreary?
Edgar Allen Poe. It's from The Raven, the first verse of which reads: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door, Only this, and nothing more."
How does the first stanza of The Raven relate to his later assumption that the raven is an agent of the supernatural?
The raven may be considered an agent of the supernatural because it first, according to the narrator, taps on the chamber door then on the window, but I believe the narrator "nodded, nearly napping," was unable to comprehend that the raven was tapping at the window from the beginning.
Is 'While I nodded nearly napping' an example of assonance?
No. It is more properly an example of consonance or alliteration because of the repeating 'n' consonant sounds (consonance) at the beginning of the words (alliteration). Assonance occurs when there is a repeating vowel sound.
