What is the mood of stanza 9 from "The Raven"?

When we refer to mood we
are thinking of the overall emotion produced by a work of literature. The mood of a text can
normally be described by one or two adjectives, such as "bittersweet" or
"comic," and so it is important to read the text you are studying and try to work out
what mood the author is trying to create.

In the ninth stanza of
"," it appears that the predominant mood is one of confused wonder. The stanza begins
by the speaker reporting how he "marvelled" at the raven and the way that it could
pronounce the word "Nevermore" so plainly. He muses on the fact that no other human
will have had the same experience of a raven sitting on the bust above his chamber door with the
name of "Nevermore":

For we cannot help agreeing
that no living human being

Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his
chamber door--

Thus it is that the mood of this stanza
alone seems to be one of wonder and confusion as the speaker tries to work out what this strange
apparition and its speech might mean for him.
