What are some descriptive words about the bird in "The Raven"?

In the seventh stanza,
the speaker describes the raven as "stately" and as having the "mien of lord or
lady." In other words, the bird has a certain elegance and holds itself as though it were
of high status and privilege. In the eighth stanza, the bird is said to be "ebony" and
"beguiling" as well as "grave and stern"; the narrator is fascinated by the
bird's serious and somber demeanor. In the ninth stanza, he describes the bird as
"ungainly" and a few stanzas later, he calls it "grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt,
and ominous"; in other words, then, the bird is kind of frightening and awkward and strange
and menacingthe word "ominous" implies that the narrator sees the bird as an omen of
sorts, perhaps something associated with the supernatural. The narrator feels as though the bird
knows something he does not. Later, still, he calls the bird a "prophet" and seems to
believe that it does bring him some kind of news from the underworld or afterlife, or even the
devil.
