The Raven poem, by Edgar Allan Poe, was accidentally named one of seventeen of so things that makes life worth living by Tomasz Beksiński, son of Zdzisław Beksiński, who gave name to this thread. Tomasz Beksiński was principally a translator, who translated to polish Monty Python's Flying Circus Episodes and dialogues in James Bond movies and a journalist and radio DJ, who was one of the greatest prog popularizers in Poland.
yet you still have time!

Nice connection. Interesting, what are the rest sixteen things? But "The Raven" certainly is one of the serious pretendents.
 
Actually, I have ten (!) different translations of "The Raven". Not sure I read them all, but some of them I definitely did. Of course, I tried to read it also in an original language. It was amazing, although I wasn't acquainted with some words (naturally), I used the dictionary. I wonder whether there's a language to which "The Raven" wasn't translated. I'm sure there are some Polish translations, but I'm in doubt I would even dare to try to read them...
 
As for Zdzisław Beksiński, I have to find time to look at the beginning of this thread once again, in order to get an acquaintance with his works, because the first time I saw the present thread I was interested more in decyphering the Polish text in it.
